A partner with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP in Houston, Texas, Hugh M. Ray III focuses on commercial litigation and bankruptcy law. A Super Lawyer and one of Houston’s Best Lawyers according to H-Texas Magazine, Hugh Ray III is board certified in business bankruptcy law through the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS).
The Texas Board of Legal Specialization is an offshoot of the State Bar of Texas that operates underneath the state’s Supreme Court. It sets high standards for attorneys in Texas and awards certification to those who excel in a specific field of law. TBLS currently offers certification in 22 subspecialties. Only 7,350 of the state’s 100,000 licensed attorneys have secured this prestigious certification.
Board certified attorneys earn the right to represent themselves as specialists in their area, which other Texas lawyers are not permitted to do. In addition to fulfilling experience requirements and undergoing a rigorous examination, these professionals must complete continuing legal education requirements and continue to practice in their specialty. This means that not only are board certified attorneys among the leaders in their field, but they are also up to date with new developments.
