The Eric Reyes Law Firm: Double Board Certified, Nearly Four Decades in DFW

TO OUR READERS: This profile is independent editorial content produced by Awesome Attorneys. The Eric Reyes Law Firm, P.C. did not pay for, commission, sponsor, or review this article, and inclusion in this series cannot be purchased. Nothing here is legal advice, an endorsement, or a recommendation to hire any lawyer; readers should evaluate counsel independently and may verify any Texas attorney’s license and discipline history through the State Bar of Texas at texasbar.com. Facts are drawn from the sources identified in the Methodology section and were verified as of August 2026.

AT A GLANCE

I. One of a Small Number of Double Board Certified Fort Worth Personal Injury Lawyers

Eric Reyes, a Fort Worth personal injury attorney, holds a specific, checkable distinction: he is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and separately Board Certified in Civil Law by the National Board of Trial Advocates — a double certification the firm’s own materials, corroborated by independent attorney directories, describe as held by only about 3% of Texas attorneys. That is a distinct, harder-to-obtain credential than a single specialty certification alone.

II. Nearly Four Decades in the Same DFW Market

Reyes has practiced personal injury law in Texas since 1988, representing injured clients continuously in the Fort Worth, Dallas, and Arlington area for close to four decades. The firm’s own materials state that Reyes settles over 80% of client cases without the delay, expense, or risk of trial — a specific claim about case strategy rather than a generic “we fight for you” statement, though it is the firm’s own figure and not independently re-verified here.

III. Practice Areas

• Car and motor vehicle accidents
• Workplace and on-the-job injuries
• Slip and fall accidents
• General personal injury and negligence claims

IV. Case Outcomes

The firm’s own materials state that Reyes settles more than 80% of cases without proceeding to trial, while retaining the trial experience to litigate when a fair settlement isn’t offered. This profile did not locate an independently itemized, case-by-case public verdict list with individual dollar figures as of this research date; that gap is disclosed here rather than filled in. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

V. The Client Voice

Client-submitted reviews on the firm’s own site describe help “getting a good settlement from the insurance company” after a car accident and appreciation for the time Reyes spent explaining a case directly to the client. This profile treats firm-published testimonials as firm-sourced rather than independently verified. The firm additionally holds an A+ rating from the Fort Worth and Dallas Better Business Bureau, a third-party business-standards rating distinct from consumer star reviews.

VI. Community and Local Presence

Reyes was inducted into the Texas Bar College on January 26, 2018, an honorary society for Texas lawyers who complete additional continuing legal education beyond the state’s minimum requirement — a credential distinct from case marketing and reflecting sustained professional development over time.

VII. Credentials and Recognition

Reyes’s double Board Certification — Personal Injury Trial Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and Civil Law from the National Board of Trial Advocates — are attributed to their respective conferring organizations. The Texas Board of Legal Specialization credential is the state’s official attorney-specialization designation, distinct from paid “top attorney” marketing lists.

VIII. The Texas Legal Backdrop

Most Texas personal injury claims carry a two-year statute of limitations under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule (Chapter 33): a claimant found more than 50% at fault cannot recover, while a claimant found 50% or less at fault has damages reduced proportionately. Workplace injury claims, part of this firm’s documented practice, may be governed by a separate workers’ compensation framework depending on whether the employer subscribes to the state system. None of this is legal advice; consult a licensed Texas attorney about your specific situation.

IX. The Awesome Attorneys Assessment

The Eric Reyes Law Firm’s structural strength is a genuinely rare double credential — Board Certification in both Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Law — paired with nearly four decades of continuous practice in the same DFW market and a stated settlement rate that suggests efficient case resolution over prolonged litigation. For a Fort Worth or Dallas client who wants a lawyer with deep, dual-certified trial credentials but also a track record of avoiding unnecessary trials, that combination is a real, checkable differentiator.

The honest limitation: a firm oriented toward high settlement rates may not be the right fit for every claim, particularly ones where a client specifically wants to prioritize trial over a faster settlement; a prospective client should ask directly about the firm’s approach to their specific case type during a consultation.
