Specialization That Matters
Jacob Blizzard is more than your typical criminal defense attorney. He is the only lawyer in Taylor County, Texas, designated as a board-certified specialist in both Criminal Law and Criminal Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Out of 111,000+ attorneys in Texas, only 77 share this dual certification.
Mr. Blizzard is one of only 32 attorneys in the state of Texas who has achieved certification in criminal trial law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.
Jacob is part of this elite group of trial attorneys who demonstrate their dedication to advancing the legal profession by meeting the rigorous standards required for this national board certification. This distinction offers clients an objective benchmark to identify highly qualified and experienced legal counsel.
Jacob is also one of a handful of federal criminal defense lawyers who has actually won federal criminal cases out of the Abilene, San Angelo, and Lubbock divisions, notorious “law and order” oriented divisions of the Northern District of Texas. Call or Text 325-230-2751 today.
