Michael FrancisHe is a lawyer. Francis Law Firm Injury LawyersFrom an early age, I knew I wanted to be a lawyer. After attending law school, I worked for an insurance defense law firm, defending insurance companies and their insureds against personal injury claims resulting from car and truck collisions. However, I found the process of defending these companies unfulfilling, so I decided to take the plunge and start my own practice.

Dedication to Customers

Michael Francis of the Francis Law Firm works differently than other personal injury law firms. He says he usually takes calls from new clients and personally interviews prospective clients instead of leaving it to non-lawyer staff. And while he works to ensure his clients receive the maximum compensation, he also works to ensure they receive the best medical care and recovery. By using the Francis Law Firm, you hire Michael Francis, not an associate who may change two or even three times to represent him.

Certified in Personal Injury Litigation Law

Michael Francis says the biggest recognition is earning Board Certification in Personal Injury Litigation Law. To pass this exam, an attorney must successfully win a significant number of personal injury jury trials, demonstrate that the majority of their practice is personal injury, and have multiple opposing counsel attest to the attorney's legal knowledge and skills. The attorney must then pass a challenging in-person exam in Austin, Texas.

This requirement is tough, but it explains why only 2 percent of personal injury lawyers in Texas are certified. Hiring a personal injury lawyer who is certified means you are hiring someone you know is definitely an expert.

Additionally, Michael Francis has been named one of the Top 10 Lawyers by the American Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, a National Outstanding Lawyer by the National Top 100 Litigation Lawyers organization, and has received the highest AV rating by the prestigious Martindale-Hubbell rating system.

Helping clients reshape their lives

Mr. Francis' dedication to his clients' needs was evident in a recent case he was retained by a client who was involved in a truck accident in Dallas County. The client, unable to return to work due to injuries sustained in the accident, initially retained a well-known television commercial law firm to represent him. Francis Law Firm took over the case after the television commercial law firm underdid the job and tried to pressure the client into accepting a settlement that would give him financial comfort. Francis Law Firm was able to recover more than four times the amount the television advertising firm was willing to accept. The net recovery has helped the client get his life back on track.

Michael Francis loves his job and intends to continue helping one client at a time for as long as he can. His dream and hope is to find potential clients in need and make a positive impact on their lives with his skills and efforts.
