Houston attorney Michael Simcoe has been awarded Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS), a prestigious recognition that distinguishes him among a select group of legal professionals in the state.
Achieving this certification requires meeting stringent qualifications that demonstrate exceptional legal competence. Simcoe underwent a rigorous evaluation process that included practicing law full-time for at least five years, completing 60 hours of specialized continuing legal education, trying at least 10 personal injury cases, and passing a comprehensive six-hour examination.
With over 20 years of experience exclusively in personal injury law, Simcoe has tried more than 130 cases to verdict across Texas. His certification underscores his extensive trial experience handling complex litigation ranging from auto accidents to workplace injuries and wrongful death claims.
The Board Certification, held by fewer than 2% of licensed attorneys in Texas, serves as a critical indicator of legal expertise and professional excellence. It provides clients with assurance that their legal representation meets the highest standards of professional competence and specialized knowledge in personal injury trial law.
Simcoe's achievement not only reflects his individual professional accomplishment but also highlights the rigorous standards maintained within the Texas legal community for specialized practice areas.
