Our personal injury law firm measures success based on the life-changing results we secure for our clients, not the awards on our wall. That said, you don’t get awards from trusted and prestigious bodies by playing it safe or prioritizing profits over people.
So, when respected legal organizations recognize our work, it validates what our clients already know — that we put our clients first, get fantastic results, and are among the best at what we do.

The American Institute of Trial Lawyers represents the elite of the trial attorney profession. It’s an invitation-only professional organization spotlighting premier trial attorneys from across the nation. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.
Through a rigorous vetting process that includes peer nominations, third-party research, and board review, only a select few lawyers in each state receive this recognition.
We were awarded Best Law Firm and Litigator of the Year, reflecting our exceptional results, skilled trial advocacy, and dedication to our clients — we treat every client as our most important, and we’re not afraid to take cases to trial when insurance companies refuse to offer fair settlements.
The National Institute of Trial Lawyers evaluates attorneys based on their results in the courtroom. Members are selected through a comprehensive evaluation process that considers their trial experience, case outcomes, and what other attorneys say about their work. Less than 0.5% of attorneys nationwide receive this prestigious award.
Patino Law Firm founder Dr. Louis Patino was named Best Trial Lawyer in America by this distinguished organization, reflecting our commitment to thorough case preparation and skilled trial advocacy, whether we’re aggressively challenging the credibility of a defense witness or appealing to the empathy and compassion of a jury of our client’s peers. While we aim to secure fair settlements through negotiation, we prepare every case as if we’re going to trial. This approach often leads to better results, as insurance companies know we’re ready and willing to fight for our clients in court.
Some rating organizations simply accept a check in exchange for recognition, but Three Best Rated® isn’t one of them — businesses cannot pay to be listed or influence the selection process. The organization uses a comprehensive 50-point inspection process to identify businesses that consistently deliver excellence in their field.
Among these 50 points are:
In its Inspection Report, Three Best Rated scored Patino Law Firm 10/10 for:
This recognition particularly matters to us because it looks at the total client experience — not just case outcomes. Lawyers can get lucky with a case. The facts can be so overwhelmingly in favor of a client that most attorneys would struggle not to get a result. Some firms might have a high win rate only because they settle cases early and quickly, even if further negotiations or a trial would secure more compensation. Or a defendant might be a massive corporation that would happily pay what is a life-changing sum to most to settle privately and protect its reputation. But it takes a special temperament and drive to stay by a client’s side and support them through what is often one of the most challenging times in their lives.
The Top Attorneys of North America, published by Who’s Who, is an independent publication that spotlights leading attorneys with superior qualifications, leadership skills, and achievements in their field. The publication interviews each attorney and evaluates their results and reputation. This recognition is further evidence that we practice what we preach, working tirelessly for the best possible outcome in every case and treating everyone who walks through our door with the dignity, empathy, and respect they deserve.
Expertise.com conducts in-depth research to identify and recognize the best local professionals in over 200 industries. Its selection process is complex, designed to thoroughly evaluate attorneys based on reputation, credibility, experience, and professionalism.
This recognition is particularly rewarding because of Expertise’s selection process. The widely trusted organization uses customer referrals and verified reviews to collect an exhaustive list of local businesses before validating qualifications, licenses, and certifications to narrow down its list to firms that have gone above and beyond in their field of practice. Expertise then conducts in-depth research and screening processes to whittle down the list further. The final stage is a direct test of a firm’s knowledge, professionalism, and conduct — a mystery shopper contacts the business with an inquiry and assesses whether it truly lives up to expectations.
We passed each stage with ease, resulting in Expertise recognizing Patino Law Firm as the top personal injury lawyer in McAllen, San Antonio, and Edinburg across multiple categories, including medical malpractice, car accidents, and wrongful death.
TrustAnalytica is an independent platform that identifies the best businesses in a given location and category via manual research and aggregating reviews left by clients on verified review platforms such as Google. The organization prides itself on being ethical, open, honest, reliable, and committed to helping its users get the best experience, whatever service they are looking for.
Based on its evaluation of a business’s reputation, accessibility, online resources, website, and overall fit for clients, TrustAnalytica ranks each business to provide the public with a reputable and trusted resource.
Our top rankings across multiple categories demonstrate our commitment, the results we achieve, and the strong relationships we build with our clients. Our goal has always been to make our clients feel seen and heard and reassure them we have their backs and will go above and beyond to secure the results they deserve. It’s heartening to know that platforms such as TrustAnalytica see this, too, and rate us accordingly as the best personal injury law firm in McAllen, San Antonio, and even the state.
We’re honored to be rated as top personal injury lawyers in the following categories:
Before receiving his Juris Doctorate and practicing law, Dr. Patino enlisted in the United States Army as a Combat Medic for the 10th Mountain Division during the Gulf War era. During his service, he earned the coveted Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) — the most prestigious peacetime award that a medical professional in the U.S. Army can achieve. The EFMB is known for its strict testing standards. It comprises a Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA), a written test, day and night land navigation, three Combat Testing Lanes (CTL), and a 12-mile foot march. The pass rate has varied over the years, from just 7% in 2017 to 27% in 2021, making it one of the most difficult and sought-after special skill badges to earn.
Dr. Patino’s background allows him to relate to veterans and their families and gives him a unique insight into traumatic injuries and their long-term effects. This award shows his dedication to excellence, which he continues to demonstrate every day when representing his clients.
These awards and recognitions aren’t just plaques on our wall or badges on our website — they’re proof of our ability to handle complex cases and secure substantial settlements and verdicts for our clients. When you choose Patino Law Firm, you get:
