FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Seth McCloskey, a personal injury lawyer at the
Law Offices of Steven C. Laird P.C.,
recently earned Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law by
the Texas Board of Legal
Specialization. He also holds a national certification in
truck accident law from the National Board of Trial Advocacy, a
designation he shares with firm founder Steven C. Laird. Together, the attorneys are
only two of 10 lawyers in the state of Texas to specialize in this area of law.
To earn board certification, an attorney 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 six-hour written examination.
"When a client is looking for representation, they want someone
who has a solid understanding about a specific area law. Seth is an
attorney who has and continues to demonstrate that expertise to
clients," said Mr. Laird. "His Board Certification in personal
injury law now places him among a prestigious group of lawyers who
have earned this elite level of recognition. We congratulate him on
this great achievement."
Prior to joining Laird, Mr. McCloskey worked as a felony
prosecutor in the Ellis County & District Attorney offices. He
later went into private practice where he represented individuals
and families in cases involving serious injury or death. His
extensive experience in truck accident law also allows him to be a
frequent speaker at industry and legal trade events throughout the
country.
Mr. McCloskey is a member of The National Trial Lawyers "Top 40
Under 40." In 2019 and 2020, he was selected to the Texas Rising
Stars listing by Thomson Reuters. He earned his law degree from the
University of Toledo and is a graduate
of Stephen F. Austin State
University.
"This is a personal milestone," said Mr. McCloskey. "Being board
certified will ensure that our clients know they are getting the
best legal representation available, whether it be a trucking
collision or other serious injury case."
Board Certification is offered in 21 specific areas of laws.
Initial certification is valid for five years. To remain certified
attorneys and paralegals must apply for recertification every five
years and meet substantial involvement, peer review and continuing
legal education requirements for their specialty area.
