THE WILLIS FIRM
The Willis Law Firm is based in Houston, Texas
with a strong national presence and recognition. With over 22
years of personal injury experience, Mr. Willis has gained a national
reputation as a leading personal injury lawyer in the United States. He
specializes in the prosecution of serious injury cases, involving burns,
paralysis, anoxic brain damage, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries
and wrongful death suits against automobile and tire manufacturers, chemical
plants and other corporate entities.
Mr.
Willis is committed to representing seriously injured people and their families.
Mr. Willis was born and raised in Texas. He graduated from Baylor University in
1978 and then went on to graduate from the South Texas College of Law in
Houston, Texas in 1982. He then went to serve as an Briefing Attorney on
the Texas Supreme Court of Texas for the Honorable Robert M.Campbell in
Austin, Texas until 1984 when he began to practice plaintiff's personal injury
law in Houston. In 1992, Willis founded Willis & Associates, a personal
injury law firm with a heavy emphasis in products liability, maritime and
industrial litigation.
Mr. Willis has the distinction of being Board
Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal
Specialization since 1988. This legal certification by the Texas Board of Legal
Specialization identifies an attorney who has been recognized as having
extensive knowledge and actual experience trying a prescribed number of personal
injury cases to a jury verdict. In order to be Board Certified, Mr. Willis had
to pass strict testing and qualification requirements to demonstrate his
knowledge of the law of evidence, procedure and other areas of substantive law
in the trial of civil cases. Less than 2% of all Texas attorneys have earned
this important certification in Personal Injury Trial Law.
In 1997, Mr. Willis was involved in one of the nation's first
Firestone ATX Radial Tread / Belt Separation and Ford
Explorer rollover cases which occurred in Texas. A products liability lawsuit
was filed in 1998 against Ford and Firestone due to the Ford Explorer going out
of control and rolling after the back left Firestone ATX radial tire's tread
came off. After a long battle with Ford and Firestone a very significant
confidential settlement was reached by all parties.On July 17, 2001 Mr. Willis
was recognized as one of a very select group of products liability attorneys in
the nation and was awarded the prestigious Steven J. Sharp Public
Service Award for his contributions in investigating and gathering
evidence pertaining to tire belt separation and vehicle rollovers in Firestone
Tire and Ford Explorer Cases. The efforts by these selected attorneys and others
helped lead to the largest recall in U.S. history. This award was presented to
Mr. Willis by the President of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.
COMMITMENT
"My firm is committed to representing individuals and families
who have been the victims of a wrongful death or serious personal injury.
Although monetary compensation cannot heal the emotional and physical scars left
as the result of a serious accident, it can help in many cases to relieve much
of the economic stress and hardship associated with the injury or loss of a
loved one. Many times it is the only means of support and future security for
the injured individual and their family. Litigation may not bring back a loved
one, or heal a serious injury, but it may serve to help prevent others from
having to endure the same loss."
David P. Willis - Houston, Texas
