The Value of Hiring a Board Certified Family Law Attorney in Texas
Featuring Travis Thompson, Board Certified Specialist in Family Law
When a client is facing a divorce, custody dispute, or any other family law challenge, the attorney they choose can shape the outcome of their case and the stability of their future.
In Texas, one of the clearest indicators of exceptional legal skill is Board Certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS). Fewer than 1% of all licensed Texas attorneys have earned this distinction in any specialty, and even fewer hold it in the demanding field of Family Law.
What Board Certification Means
Board Certification is not a marketing label—it is a credential earned through a rigorous, multiyear process that includes:
- Demonstrated substantial experience in the specialty area
- Peer review by judges and fellow attorneys
- Completion of advanced, specialty specific continuing legal education
- Passing a comprehensive, daylong examination comparable to a medical board exam
An attorney who is Board Certified has proven, in a measurable and objective way, that they possess a high level of competence in their field.
Why It Matters to Clients
Hiring a Board Certified Family Law attorney provides several concrete advantages:
- Proven Expertise in Complex Family Law Issues: Family law involves high stakes matters—property division, parental rights, child support, protective orders, and more. A Board Certified specialist has handled these issues repeatedly and successfully, giving clients confidence that their attorney knows the terrain.
2. Higher Standards of Professionalism and Ethics: TBLS certified attorneys must maintain exemplary professional reputations. Clients benefit from an attorney who is respected by courts, colleagues, and opposing counsel.
3. Up-to-Date Knowledge of Texas Family Law: Certification requires ongoing advanced education. Clients receive representation informed by the most current statutes, case law, and strategic approaches.
4. Strategic Judgment Built on Experience: Board Certified attorneys have seen the patterns, pitfalls, and pressure points of family litigation. They can anticipate challenges, craft stronger strategies, and negotiate from a position of authority.
