Keith M. Fletcher Has Been Recognized Among the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©

Houston, TX, March 7, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Keith M. Fletcher, Co-Founder & Shareholder, Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., has joined The Expert Network©, an invitation-only service for distinguished professionals. Mr. Fletcher has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.

Mr. Fletcher outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. Mr. Fletcher entered college in the fall of 1974 and finished in 2.25 years, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in Business Management and Economics from Houston Baptist University. Mr. Fletcher then obtained his Juris Doctor from the Baylor College of Law. He passed the Texas bar in 1979 and promptly joined forces with attorney Robert S. Simmons to found Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., a Christian practice centered on a commitment to resolving personal injury cases in a prompt and caring manner, while modeling Christian attitudes and behaviors.

"Tort Reform—or 'Tort Deform' as I like to call it—has hurt my clients' ability to get a fair trial or a fair appeal. If this trend continues, the victims of negligence will be victimized twice, the latter being by our prejudiced judicial system."

With nearly 40 years dedicated to law, Mr. Fletcher brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry and in particular to his area of specialization, personal injury trial law. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. Fletcher said:

"My brother had some drug and alcohol problems, and I had to go to court to bail him out of trouble. After I saw how mistreated and abused he and many others were, without attorneys to protect them, I felt helpless as a layman. Law school became the great equalizer."

Working with the guarantee that clients “don’t pay unless we win,” Mr. Fletcher does everything in his power to fight for victims' rights under the law. Representing clients who have suffered injuries due to motor vehicle wrecks, work accidents, animal attacks, maritime accidents, premises liabilities, product malfunctions, medical negligence, or any other situation, he advocates for victims, whether the claim is minor, life-altering, or fatal. Mr. Fletcher is perhaps most widely lauded for his 2012 $11.9 million settlement for a client who suffered a serious electrical burn injury in an on-the-job accident.

As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Fletcher keeps a close eye on prevailing trends in personal injury law. In particular, he mourns a group of laws, called Tort Reform, which make it much more difficult for the injured to file a lawsuit or obtain a jury trial, and places limits on the amount people can win in trial. He noted:

"Tort Reform—or 'Tort Deform' as I like to call it—has hurt my clients’ ability to get a fair trial or a fair appeal. If this trend continues, the victims of negligence will be victimized twice, the latter being by our prejudiced judicial system."

Mr. Fletcher is a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, the Houston Trial Lawyers Association, the Texas Bar Association, the Houston Bar Association, the Katy Bar Association, the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America, the Texas Association of Civil Trial and Appellate Specialists, and the Texas Trial Lawyers Association.
