Among Mr. Polewski's recent civic commitments is his six years of service on the executive board of Brighter Tomorrows, a non-profit organization which provides shelter, food and necessities to abused women and children, along with counseling, transitional housing and life skills training so they can reclaim their lives and dignity.

Legal Qualifications
John Polewski graduated near the top of his law school class and passed the Texas Bar Exam with the second highest score out of the more than 2,000 people who took it with him. Licensed to practice law in both Texas and Arkansas,  Mr. Polewski has represented people and businesses in serious litigation for over 30 years.
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 3% of all Texas lawyers possess this qualification. Read more about Board Certification here. The Arkansas Bar has no similar certification process.
Due to his success in handling major personal injury cases and Wrongful Death cases, Mr. Polewski has an even rarer qualification – membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
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.
Mr. Polewski's excellent reputation is confirmed by his top ratings in nationally recognized, independent lawyer ratings organizations. Some of his more noteworthy honors:
- Mr. Polewski holds the top rating of "superb" in the AVVO rating system (view Mr. Polewski's AVVO rating here).
- He is recognized year after year as one of the top lawyers in both the Little Rock and the Dallas areas by Expertise.
- Mr. Polewski is recognized as a "Super Lawyer" by the Thomson-Reuters rating system.
- He is also a recipient--for each of the last 20 years running-- of top ratings in the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review process. The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review 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. Respondents are asked to assess the lawyer's legal ability and ethical standards. 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.
