Legal Qualifications 

                                John P. Polewski, J.D.

Well known and respected by both trial lawyers and judges, Mr. Polewski is now in his 37th year of law practice.  Licensed to practice law in every court in Arkansas and Texas, Mr. Polewski has personally handled hundreds of  wrongful death and medical malpractice cases.   He is a proud member and supporter of the American Association for Justice, the Texas and Arkansas Bar Associations, and the Arkansas and Texas Trial Lawyers Associations.

For the first ten years of his practice, Mr. Polewski represented defendants in major litigation, including defending doctors and nurses and their malpractice insurance companies.  This gave him experience, training and perspective that few other lawyers have:  nobody understands malpractice insurance companies and their strategies quite like a lawyer who used to be on their side.

Among Mr. Polewski's other honors and acheivements are:

• Mr. Polewski is the recipient--for each of the last 25 years--of top ratings in the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review process.  This ratings system, used by legal consumers for over 100 years, is based on the confidential opinions of other lawyers -- and judges-- familiar with the lawyer being rated.  Mr. Polewski's legal skills were rated by other lawyers and judges as "very high to pre-eminent," and his ethical standards were rated as "very high" – both of which are the top ratings possible.
• Due to his success in handling major personal injury cases and Wrongful Death cases, Mr. Polewski has been made a Life Member in both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum (attorneys who have settled cases for their clients in excess of $1 Million Dollars) and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum (attorneys who have settled cases for their clients in excess of $2 Million Dollars). 
• Mr. Polewski is also a member of the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates, an invitation only, national organization of the most experienced trial lawyers in America, dedicated to the preservation of justice and the American civil justice system.  Licensed to practice law in both Texas and Arkansas, Mr. Polewski represents clients throughout both states.

• For each of the last 20 years, Mr. Polewski has been awarded the top rating of "superb" in the AVVO rating system, based on reviews by other lawyers and clients (view Mr. Polewski's AVVO ratings and reviews here). Mr. Polewski consistently ranks at or near the top of recommendations in the independent lawyer review site AVVO for medical malpractice lawyers in Arkansas and Texas. 
• Mr. Polewski is certified by the Board of Legal Specialization of the State Bar of Texas as a Personal Injury Trial Law Specialist. This certification, obtained only after a difficult and specialized examination, extensive trial experience and recommendation by other trial lawyers and by trial judges, is by no means a routine accomplishment: less than 1.5% of all Texas lawyers possess this qualification.   Arkansas has no similar board certification process.
• Mr. Polewski carries a perfect "10" rating from the Justia legal rating system, based on reviews from other lawyers who have worked with and against him.  
• Mr. Polewski is recognized year after year as a "Super Lawyer" as rated by the Thomson-Reuters legal ratings system.
