Robert Greening is a Board Certified Attorney
You may ask.. what does it mean to be a board certified attorney?
A Board Certified Attorney is an attorney who has demonstrated special competence in a particular field in which the Texas Board of Legal Specialization has certified their competence. The Texas Board of Legal Specialization was created by the Supreme Court of Texas, and the Board members are appointed by the President of the State Bar of Texas. The Board, in turn, administers the program through which an attorney may demonstrate their special competence in a particular area of law practice.
Personal Injury Trial Lawyer
Of the approximate 120,000 lawyers that are licensed to practice in Texas, only 6,850 are Board Certified. Because of the high standards of this certification, the certification is for a period of 5 years. To remain certified after that time, every 5 years the attorney must apply for recertification and meet the requirements for continued experience, peer review, and continuing legal education.
