As the founder of Francis Firm Injury Attorneys, Michael Francis has gone above and beyond in the world of law to become something much more than your typical personal injury attorney. His long road that started with defending insurance companies and has transitioned into a champion for injured victims is an astonishing sign of his steadfast dedication to justice and, above all, securing an ethical legal practice.
Francis’s career path was cemented early on in his life, as he admits to being driven by an innate desire to advocate for those in need of legal assistance for as long as he can remember. After completing law school, he soon gained incredibly valuable experience at a Dallas-based insurance defense firm. However, Francis ultimately found the experience left him feeling unfulfilled because as his time with the firm went on, he saw first-hand the challenges faced by injured individuals in their pursuit of justice. Motivated by an intense desire to make a truly meaningful difference, Francis eventually had enough and took a leap of faith, founding Francis Firm Injury Attorneys a short time later.
Moving from a reliable job position at a prestigious law firm to begin his own practice, of course, proved to be overwhelming at first, especially with a young family to support. Regardless of the risks, however, Francis’s determination and staunch belief in his abilities drove him forward. And with hard work coupled with a blooming reputation for achieving successful outcomes, he soon led his firm to a prosperous practice grounded first and foremost in trust and integrity.
Nevertheless, his relentlessly client-centric approach genuinely sets Francis apart from his peers. Unlike numerous firms where non-attorney staff routinely handle initial consultations, Francis works one-on-one with each prospective client. His hands-on approach works to ensure that from the beginning, all clients promptly receive personalized attention and the peace of mind that a seasoned legal professional is handling their case.
Among Francis’s most notable accomplishments is his obtaining Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law, which is an incredible distinction achieved by only a select few in the state of Texas. The certification recognizes his experience and devotion to the law and helping others recover the fair compensation they deserve. Francis’s accolades reassure his clients that they are incapable hands. In addition to his board certification, he has been recognized as one of the Top Ten Lawyers by the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys and honored as a National Lawyer of Distinction by the National Top 100 Trial Lawyers organization. His AV rating by Martindale-Hubble further demonstrates his reputation for high-quality legal practice.
At the center of Francis’s practice are the stories of his clients whose lives have been upended by accidents and injuries. One example is a woman injured in a major truck crash who was initially represented by a high-profile law firm that prioritized its interests over hers. Francis and his team took over her case, diligently pursuing justice and ultimately securing a settlement four times larger than the initial offer!
Moving forward, Francis sees himself continuing to make a substantial difference in the lives of his clients, with a dream to expand his practice in impact.
Moreover, Francis prioritizes securing maximum compensation for his clients and ensuring they receive the best possible medical care. He avoids the common practice of referring clients to special medical providers for the sake of a smooth claims process, realizing that such practices can compromise the quality of care and ultimately reduce the value of a claim.
