Kurt Arbuckle | Houston Personal Injury Attorney - Houston, TX Personal Injury and Car Accident Attorney

ABOUT KURT

If you have never needed an attorney before, you may be a little hesitant to contact someone. That is normal. But once you contact, you will see it is not hard at all.

I am not part of a large 1,000 lawyer law firm. Some businesses feel more comfortable with a big firm. To me, the bottom line is do you want the most lawyers or the best lawyers? Cases I handle do frequently need more than on lawyer. In those cases, I put together a team of the best lawyers to do the particular job on the case.

Do not hesitate to call us for more information. We will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision with no pressure.

Now that lawyers are allowed to tell you about what we speialize in, it is much easier to know who can help you in your situation. The State Bar of Texas now has areas of specialization that are certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. The National Board of Legal Specialization is also recognized in Texas. Find a lawyer you need.

The other half of the task includes how long the attorney has been practicing and the ethical stancing of the lawyer. As for experience, the more years the better. As for ethical standing, check out the lawyer's Martindale/Hubble rating. If it is AV, the lawyer is rated by other lawyers and judges as of the highest legal ability (the A) and very high ethics (the V being the hightest rating).

When you get into other supposed qualifications, it is harder to know what a real qualification is and what qualification the lawyer got for a "membership" or "application" fee. Some do indicate achievements, but some do not.

CASES INVOLVING INJURIES

These cases involve someone being injured by someone's carelessness (call negligence), by a dangerously defective product, or from a dangerous condition on someone's property. I have two board certifications in this area: board certified in personal injury law by the Texas Board and board certified civil trial advocacy by the National Board. In my 40+ years I have handled many kinds of theses cases with emphasis on collisions involving large trucks, motorcycle wrecks, cases involving dangerous property such as defective stairs or oil rig explosions, and cases involving unsafe products.

BUSINESS LITIGATION

These cases involve business disputes such as contracts, disputes between owners, and commercial real estate matters. I have two board certifications that cover this area: board certified in civil trial law by the Texas Board and board certified in civil trial advocacy by the National Board.
