Charlie Ginn

Charlie Ginn, Trial LawyerBuilt to Try Cases

Most personal injury cases never see a courtroom. Charlie prepares every one of his as though it will.

That preparation is the point. Insurance carriers and corporate defendants make decisions based on risk, and the risk they price is the lawyer across the table. Charlie’s practice is built around being the kind of opponent who changes that calculation through disciplined case development, aggressive discovery, and a willingness to put a case in front of twelve people when the defense will not deal fairly.

He handles catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters throughout Texas, with a particular focus on commercial trucking and transportation cases. These are the cases where the defense arrives early, well-funded, and organized, and where the difference between a modest settlement and full accountability is a lawyer who knows what to demand, how to find it, and what to do with it in front of a jury.

Charlie has spent his career on the plaintiff’s side, representing injured people and grieving families against trucking companies, corporations, and insurance carriers that resist accountability.

Board Certified and Writing the Exam

Charlie is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a designation held by a small fraction of Texas attorneys. Certification is not an award or a listing. It requires documented trial experience, substantial involvement in the field, peer review from judges and opposing counsel, and a full-day written examination.

Charlie is now among a few selected attorneys who write and grade that examination. The Board draws its exam writers and graders from practicing specialists, because the standard for certifying a personal injury trial lawyer should be set by lawyers who are actually trying these cases. It is a responsibility he takes seriously: the credential means something to clients and referring attorneys only as long as the people administering it hold the line.

American Board of Trial Advocates

Charlie is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an invitation-only national organization of plaintiff and defense trial lawyers admitted on the basis of demonstrated jury trial experience and a commitment to civility and to preserving the Seventh Amendment right to trial by jury.

ABOTA membership cannot be applied for or purchased. Members are nominated and vetted by other trial lawyers, including the ones who have faced them across the courtroom.

Leadership Beyond the Courtroom

Charlie served as Chair of the Board of Directors of the State Bar of Texas, leading the governing body of more than 100,000 Texas attorneys. He has held multiple vice presidencies with the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, including Vice President of Legislative Affairs, and has represented the interests of injured Texans at the Capitol.

He received TTLA’s Reich Chandler Outstanding Advocate Award for his combined dedication to trial excellence, faith, and family, as well as the 2025 Michael T. Gallagher Legislative Advocacy Award.

A Commitment to Service, Based on Faith

A favorite scripture of Charlie’s is, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” Proverbs 17:17. Charlie understands that his clients face challenging, stressful, and devastating consequences financially, physically, and emotionally. He believes that genuine relationships do not end after a phone call or a meeting but drive future actions, with the needs of his clients never forgotten or ignored. He takes his promises seriously and fights with an unrelenting focus on achieving justice and full compensation for the people he serves.
