We had an amazing experience with Janicek Law from beginning to end. Karen Rangel recommended us to Cassidy Muniz, and we are so thankful she did. Cassidy assisted myself, my husband, and our two daughters, and all four of us are extremely happy with the experience and outcome. Cassidy truly went above and beyond for our entire family. She was always responsive, patient, professional, and helpful, and she kept us informed throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly, we had no issues, and she made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier for us. The entire team at Janicek Law is amazing, and we felt like we were in great hands from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful to Karen for recommending Cassidy and especially grateful to Cassidy for everything she did for our family. We would 100% recommend Cassidy and Janicek Law to anyone looking for a team that truly cares about their clients. Thank you all so much for everything! ❤️

We were referred to Janicek Law firm from a lawyer in Brownsville, who pointed out that they are experts in the field of medical malpractice and I am so grateful. We worked with Andrew and Gaby and they were dedicated and worked hard to get us the best possible outcome. They kept us informed and updated through every step of the process, always with a friendly and very professional disposition. Despite language and distance challenges, they accommodated all of our needs, and I would highly recommend Janicek Law Firm. They made a bad situation better by listening to our concerns, helping us through a sorrowful time for my family, and advising on how to defeat our opponent. For any families that have a beloved and elderly relative who suffered in the hands of callous and neglectful medical institutions, Janicek Law Firm were amazing in advocating for our relative and making these corporate entities accountable. Thank you, Andrew and Gaby, we really appreciated your help!

Mr Bernal and Karen were great. They always kept me up to date on all that was going on at all times. When it came down to mediation Mr Bernal knew exactly what to do and say to make things clear with the insurance company who wanted to take advantage of me. I highly recommend Mr Bernal if you ever are in an accident. He will definitely take care of you.

I have started this review so many times, but every time I do, I realize there simply aren't enough words to thank the people at Janicek Law. Almost 3 years ago, my world ended. I lost my son, Zayden—the greatest love of my life. My other son, Zy, witnessed the unimaginable that day. He carries those memories with him every single day, and we are forever grateful that he is still here because we very easily could have lost him too. Our family didn't just experience a tragedy—we experienced trauma that changed us forever. When I first met the team at Janicek Law, I wasn't just grieving. I was broken. I was a mother trying to survive the unthinkable while helping my surviving son heal from something no child should ever witness. I didn't know if I had the strength to keep fighting. There were so many moments when I wanted to give up. Every deposition, every conversation, every piece of evidence forced me to relive the worst day of my life. I told them I couldn't do it anymore. But they never let me forget why we were fighting. They reminded me that Zayden deserved justice. They reminded me that Zy deserved justice. They believed in my family even when I couldn't believe in myself. What makes Janicek Law different is that this was never just a job to them. They never made me feel like another client or another case number. They knew my children by name. They celebrated Zayden's life. They cried with us, prayed with us, hugged us, encouraged us, and walked beside us through every heartbreaking step. They carried a piece of this burden with us, and I will never forget that. Even after the case was over, they didn't disappear. They still answer my calls. They still help me with paperwork. They still check on me. They still make me feel like my family matters. That's something you cannot fake. That's love. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing them as "my attorneys" and started seeing them as family. And I truly believe I have a family for life. No amount of money will ever bring my little boy back. I would trade every penny to hear his laugh one more time. But because of Janicek Law, I have peace knowing that his life mattered, his story was heard, and that they fought for my boys with everything they had. From the deepest part of a mother's heart... thank you. Thank you for loving my children. Thank you for never giving up on us when I wanted to give up myself. Thank you for standing beside us through the darkest chapter of our lives. You gave my family more than legal representation—you gave us hope, dignity, and people we will love for the rest of our lives. You helped a grieving mother find the strength to be the voice her son no longer had. In a world that can feel so unfair, you reminded me that there are still genuinely good people. We love each and every one of you, and we will never forget what you did for Zayden, for Zy, and for us.❤️

I am incredibly grateful for everything she did for me and my family. I would highly recommend Cassidy and Janicek Law Firm, who genuinely cares about clients and fights for the best possible outcome. Thank you cassidy for everything!

After my accident, I felt overwhelmed and had no idea what to do next. Choosing Janicek Law Firm was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the very beginning, Philip Bernal, Cassidy Muniz, and Karen Rangel took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and make sure I always knew what to expect. Cassidy and Karen were absolutely incredible throughout my entire case. They coordinated my medical care, helped with scheduling appointments, communicated with my insurance, and was always available whenever I needed guidance or reassurance. Their compassion and dedication truly made a difficult time so much easier. The entire team worked hard to build my case, keeping me informed every step of the way, and ultimately secured a settlement I was very happy with. More importantly, they gave me the peace of mind to focus on healing instead of worrying about the legal process. I can’t thank Philip, Cassidy, Karen and everyone at Janicek Law Firm enough for their professionalism, kindness, and commitment. If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients, I highly recommend them. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!

Working with Nyssa and Cassidy has been the silver lining of a very stressful accident experience. From our first interaction, I felt reassured and confident that I had made the right choice in choosing a firm to represent me. Nyssa & Cassidy were highly compassionate, communicative, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Their advocacy ensured I could access the care I needed and receive the compensation I deserved. I am so grateful to these two and the entire team at Janicek Law for making my experience as stress-free and seamless as possible. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing representation!

I had an excellent experience working with Janicek Law Firm and especially with attorney Joy Barrientes. After experiencing a serious medical malpractice case related to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect, but Joy guided me through every step with clarity, patience, and care. She took the time to explain the entire process in a way that made me feel informed and empowered. Most importantly, she fought for me and secured a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and compassion throughout this journey. I highly recommend Janicek Law Firm and Joy Barrientes to anyone in need of strong, thoughtful legal representation!

Texas Board of Legal Specialization Certification Requirements

Texas board-certified attorneys hold a special competence, as only approximately 7.3% of lawyers are board-certified in any area of law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, whether these are Texas personal injury attorneys, criminal defense lawyers, or specialists in other practice areas.

The requirements for being board-certified in personal injury trial law include:

  • Texas lawyers must be licensed to practice law in the state.
  • Attorneys must be active members and in good standing with the State Bar of Texas.
  • Lawyers must have a minimum of 5 years of experience practicing law in their special competence area.
  • Attorneys must have at least 3 years of “substantial involvement” in personal injury trial law (or the area they’re applying to become specialists in) immediately preceding the application. Additionally, law firms must dedicate at least 25% of their practice to an area of special competence, such as civil trial law.
  • Lawyers must meet specific court experience requirements to become certified Texas trial lawyers.
  • Attorneys must be highly recommended by other Texas lawyers and at least one judge for being skilled trial advocates.
  • Lawyers must remain up-to-date in civil trial law through continued education requirements.
  • Attorneys must pass a written special competence examination.

How Hiring a Law Firm With Personal Injury Board Certification in Texas Helps Victims

Only The Best Lawyers Are Board-Certified in Texas Personal Injury Trial Law (>2%)

Only 7% of Texas attorneys secure the professional achievement of becoming specialists in any practice area. There are roughly 7,200 specialists in 28 practice areas out of the 99,867 active in-state attorneys. Personal injury trial law, the largest legal specialization, accounts for approximately 26% of all board-certified specialists.

This establishes that only around 1.2% to 2% of active Texas lawyers are board-certified in Personal Injury Trial Law.

Texas Board-Certified Attorneys Must Also Be Experienced Trial Lawyers

Board-certified attorneys in Texas must demonstrate they’re qualified to secure favorable outcomes in jury trials, not just in settling cases out of court. To be certified trial lawyers, they must litigate at least 10 contested civil trials as lead counsel submitted to a trier of fact. At least 5 Texas trials must be civil jury trials. Additionally, certified trial advocates must litigate for a minimum of 20 total trial days. At least 10 of those days must be from civil jury trials.

Board-Certified Personal Injury Lawyers in Texas are Hard Working and Continue to Improve Knowledge in Personal Injury Law

Board-certified attorneys in Texas must also complete 60 hours of continued legal education in their specific area of practice to become specialists. The Board of Legal Specialization requires these hours in addition to the general Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) requirements. Special competence education must also be approved for board certification. This ensures certified attorneys actually exhibit special competence in their specific areas of practice before they’re considered specialists.

Board Certified Personal Injury Lawyers in Texas Are Recommended by Judges and Other Attorneys, Showing Commitment to Excellence in Representing Victims

Board-certified lawyers in Texas are referred by judges and recommended by other lawyers. The state Board of Legal Specialization certification is earned only after an attorney demonstrates substantial involvement in court and provides service as the lead attorney in contested trials. Judges who previously presided over these cases and other trial lawyers familiar with the attorney’s work and expertise provide confidential evaluations. These evaluate skill, professionalism, integrity, and ability. The process ensures board certification reflects excellence in actual court settings, not based on recognition for advertising.

As a result, board-certified personal injury lawyers in Texas are widely respected within the legal profession as having a proven dedication and commitment to excellence in representing injured clients.

Insurance Companies Recognize Certified Injury Attorneys in Texas as Serious Trial Lawyers - Helping in Negotiations

Insurance companies recognize board-certified injury attorneys in Texas as being difficult to win against because completing the state’s board certification process is reserved only for the excellent trial lawyers in their field. As a result, claims handled by certified injury attorneys are often treated with greater scrutiny and respect during negotiations, since insurers know the lawyer has the experience, resources, and knowledge to litigate a verdict in their favor if they don’t receive a fair settlement offer on behalf of their client.

This is an important aspect of negotiations and helps ensure clients are paid fairly by negligent parties.

Board-certified wrongful death lawyers in Texas have demonstrated advanced experience handling complex cases involving fatal accidents, negligence, and liability disputes. This board certification indicates the attorney has met objective standards specific to high-stakes litigation and is qualified to recover full damages for families who have lost loved ones with the utmost care. Contact a San Antonio wrongful death attorney to learn more.

Our board-certified truck accident lawyers in Texas focus on complex collision cases involving commercial trucks, federal safety regulations, and corporate defendants. These cases often require rapid evidence preservation, careful depositions, complex investigations, and obtaining assistance from reconstruction and industry experts. Our board-certified truck accident attorneys in San Antonio are recognized for navigating high-exposure claims where insurance carriers and trucking companies aggressively defend liability, making experienced trial lawyers critical for injured victims.

Board-certified auto accident lawyers provide legal representation for a range of claims. This includes car accidents, motorcycle crashes, commercial vehicle collisions, and rideshare accidents. Vehicle accident lawsuits often involve disputed liability, catastrophic harm, multiple insurance policies, and complex recovery calculations. Our board-certified auto accident attorneys in San Antonio are known for managing high-value suits, addressing insurer tactics, and bringing complaints to court when negotiations fail. This ensures clients are happy with the outcome and quality of representation.

Our board-certified medical malpractice lawyers in Texas assist clients after being harmed by negligent medical treatment. This requires law firms to investigate medical records, secure expert testimony, and involve complex legal strategies to prove deviation from accepted standards. Our board-certified medical malpractice attorneys in San Antonio are recognized as dedicated specialists in this area in both negotiations and as trial lawyers.
