Board Certification & AV Preeminent Ranking

Exceptional Credentials That Set Our Texas Construction Law Team Apart
What is the value of an attorney who is Board Certified in Construction Law and rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell?
Board Certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is the highest level of certification an attorney can achieve in a specific legal practice area. To qualify, a lawyer must first demonstrate a substantial history of practice in construction law. After qualifying, the attorney must independently study volumes of materials, statutes, and laws — and then pass a rigorous, day-long examination. This exam is comparable to retaking the bar, but it focuses exclusively on construction law.

There are only approximately 125 lawyers in the State of Texas that are Board Certified in Construction Law, and fewer than 30 in the Austin area. Only 8% of Texas attorneys are Board Certified in any area.

Tony Ciccone leads Bollier Ciccone LLP’s civil and construction law team, and he became Board Certified in 2017.
Tony is also rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell. Martindale describes these lawyers as an “elite group” of attorneys with “strong legal ability and high ethical standards” based on evaluations by peers regarding legal knowledge, analytical capabilities, judgment, communication ability, and legal experience.
