Greg Baumgartner this week received an honor limited to just 100 individuals in each state. He was named to the National Trial Lawyers: Top 100. And that is no minor accomplishment considering there are 1.3 million attorneys in the United States and that the American Bar Association is actively working to address a shortage of qualified trial lawyers.
Baumgartner is the founder of the Baumgartner Law Firm, a leading personal injury practice based in Houston. With over 30 years of experience, he spends his days – and many nights – helping personal injury victims and their families throughout Texas battle large corporations and insurance companies. Yet it is a decision he made in more recent years that he says set him on the path to the elite designation.
“I have always rigorously fought for each of my clients. Yet I have been especially affected on a personal level by the cases where families lost loved ones in wrongful death accidents or individual clients’ lives were drastically altered as the result of a serious injury – especially in the cases of car accidents and truck wrecks,” Baumgartner explained. “A few years ago, I limited the scope of my practice to concentrate on a limited number of these cases so I can devote maximum time and attention to get them the compensation they deserve. The close working relationships that result from that level of involvement has been life-changing, and today I count many former clients and their family members as close friends.”
National Trial Lawyers is not the first organization to award Baumgartner’s skills. He has been rated as a Preeminent attorney for over 15 years, named a Top Lawyer by Houstonia Magazine, is a two-time Who’s Who recipient, received perfect Martindale ratings from both peers and clients, received a perfect rating from Avvo, and was named by Newsweek to its list of the best personal injury lawyers. He is also among the less than one percent of attorneys nationally to hold double law degrees: in his case, a juris doctor from the University of Nebraska and a master of law from the University of Denver. He is admitted to practice law by both the Colorado and Texas State Bar Associations and is a member of the American Bar Association.
The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 is an invitation-only organization composed of the premier trial lawyers from each state or region who meet stringent qualifications as civil plaintiff and/or criminal defense trial lawyers. Selection is based on a multi-phase process which includes peer nominations and third-party research. Membership is extended only to the most qualified attorneys from each state or region who demonstrate superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature and public profile measured by standards in compliance that comply with state bar and national rules.
