I have been licensed to practice law since 1985. I worked for insurance companies for over 20 years before I switched sides and started representing injured persons who have have been injured in car wrecks, work accidents, product liability cases, slip and falls and other injury matters. The fact I worked for insurance companies means I know their tactics and how to beat them. I believe the best lawyers are the ones who were originally trained to defend large companies and insurance companies. Further I am board certified in personal injury by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Only 10% according to the State Bar of Texas are board certified see:().. You can bet that the insurance company or the company you are claiming injured you has a board certified lawyer. Why would you not want a board certified lawyer on your side. The consultation with me is free and if I take your case you don't have to pay me unless you win your case. Put my experience and certification on your side. I live and work in El Paso, Texas.
