The Carlson Law Firm is proud and honored to recognize five of our attorneys for having obtained one of the Top 10 Personal Injury Settlements in Texas in 2021. The list includes cases filed in a state or federal court.
Top Verdict is a highly recognized and prestigious institution that recognizes U.S. law firms and individual attorneys that have obtained the highest settlements, jury verdicts, or court awards. Rankings for this recognition are based on individual states and nationally specific legal disciplines. Top Verdict simply publishes case results, a process that the Top Verdict says is an unbiased, strictly numerical list of financial results obtained by the attorneys on behalf of their clients.
While most attorneys and law firms would make a Top Verdict list only once in their history, we are proud to be part of the 3% of attorneys/law firms to have made the same list two years in a row.
