Jon L. Anderson

PARTNER

Anderson has extensive trial and appellate experience in numerous types of civil and criminal cases. He is licensed in Texas State and Federal Courts as well as Appellate Courts.

Anderson’s biggest passion is fighting for the rights of injured people against the abusive practices of insurance companies, and he is Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Personal Injury Trial Law since 1997. Despite the board certification, Anderson maintains a small-town practice of law, allowing for clients to feel they are special and receive direct attention with their cases. He and his staff provide an atmosphere where the clients know their case is very important.

While a solo practice for thirty-five years, Anderson’s practice has included dealing directly with clients about their cases. Our belief is this provides comfort and confidence to clients that we take their cases very seriously.

Being a native of Lufkin has allowed Anderson to become familiar with all the courts and judges in and around the area. The respect he receives from the Judges who know his reputation for diligence, honesty, and fairness has proven very beneficial to his clients.

Anderson receives twice as many hours each year of continuing legal education than attorneys who are not board certified. Meaning he is officially recognized by Judges, as well as peers and the Board as being an expert in the field of Personal Injury Law. This maintains a high level of expertise in the trial practice. Although most cases settle without a trial, Anderson has extensive experience in courtrooms around East Texas and loves fighting for his clients to the maximum degree.
