Carlson Partner Recognized by Texas Board of Legal Specialization
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) January 11, 2017 -- Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS) has announced that Drew Gibbs received Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law. Gibbs currently practices in Austin, Texas and is a proud Partner with The Carlson Law Firm.
Board Certification is a voluntary designation program certifying Texas attorneys in 22 specific areas of law. Board Certified attorneys must be licensed for at least five years, devote a required percentage of practice to a specialty area for at least three years, attend continuing education seminars, pass an evaluation by fellow lawyers and judges and pass a 6-hour written examination.
"It's a great honor to have been recommended for board certification by the judges and opposing counsel with whom I have tried jury trials with over the years," said Gibbs, "The rigorous examination process and many hurdles that had to be overcome to receive this recognition were a challenge, but the successes we have achieved for our clients along the way have made all the time and effort well worth it."
Gibbs is a graduate of Southern Methodist University School of Law. He has been a part of The Carlson Law Firm since 2008 and was licensed by the State Bar of Texas in 2004.

Board Certification is offered in 22 specific areas of law to attorneys. Initial certification is valid for five years. To remain certified attorneys and paralegals must apply for re-certification every five years and meet substantial involvement, peer review and continuing legal education requirements for their specialty area.
