About William
Biography
I am an AV Preeminent Rated Attorney by Martindale-Hubbell.
The AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating is the highest peer rating standard. It is based upon anonymous peer reviews covering five categories: Legal Knowledge, Analytical Capabilities, Judgment, Communication Ability and Legal Experience. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards. The lawyer with this rating has usually practiced law for many years, and is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity.
Martindale-Hubbell states that the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings system is based on the confidential opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary, including both those who are rated and those who are not. Martindale-Hubbell representatives conduct personal interviews to discuss lawyers under review with other members of the Bar. A compilation of these opinions from various sources is necessary to form a consensus, and lawyers under review are sometimes asked to provide professional references to assist with the process. In addition, confidential questionnaires are sent to lawyers and judges in the same geographic location and/or area of practice as the lawyer being rated. Members of the Bar are instructed to assess their colleague's legal ability and general ethical standards.
There are two components to each Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating:
1. Legal Ability Ratings Legal Ability Ratings take into consideration the standard of professional ability in the area where the lawyer practices, the lawyer's expertise, and other professional qualifications. If a lawyer's practice is limited or specialized, Peer Review Ratings are based on performance in those specific fields of law. Legal Ability Ratings are: C - Good to High B - High to Very High A - Very High to Preeminent
2. General Ethical Standards Rating The General Ethical Standards Rating denotes adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities. The General Recommendation Rating is: V - Very High A lawyer will not receive a Legal Ability Rating unless he or she has been endorsed for a "V."
I am also Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
I am also a Fellow of The College of the State Bar of Texas.
