About Bruce

Bruce L — Roberts is a distinguished personal injury attorney based in Tyler, Texas. Since 1981, he has dedicated his career to specializing in personal injury cases. His commitment to excellence is reflected in his board certification in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization—an accolade that only a small percentage of Texas attorneys achieve. Roberts earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Texas School of Law in the same year he began practicing law, marking the start of a significant legal career. Before establishing his private practice, Roberts worked as a law clerk for a year at the Twelfth Court of Appeals for the State of Texas. This foundational role provided him with insights into appellate procedures and judicial decision-making. In 1982, he co-founded Roberts & Roberts alongside his brother, Randy Roberts.

This partnership has allowed him to focus on a variety of personal injury cases, including motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, unsafe equipment claims, and wrongful death cases. His experience in these areas has made him a advocate for clients seeking justice. Roberts has also demonstrated his legal prowess in appellate courts. He has handled appeals before the Texas Supreme Court, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. His admission to practice in all Texas state courts, as well as the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern, Western, and Northern Districts of Texas, shows his broad legal expertise.

Furthermore, he is licensed to practice before the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court, expanding his reach and influence in the legal community. Community involvement is another cornerstone of Roberts' professional life. He has actively contributed to local youth sports by serving as an assistant soccer coach and a little league baseball coach. Additionally, he has taken on the role of den leader for Boy Scouts Pack 335, fostering leadership and teamwork among young scouts. His commitment to community service extends to organizations like the American Heart Association and the Head Injury Association of Tyler, where he has worked to raise awareness and support for critical health issues.

Roberts is a member of the Texas Bar College, reflecting his dedication to continuing legal education and professional development. He has been recognized as a Civil Trial Advocate by the National Board of Civil Trial Advocacy, further solidifying his reputation in the field. His contributions to legal scholarship include co-authoring articles for seminars sponsored by the University of Houston School of Law, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, and the American Association for Justice. Through these efforts, he continues to influence the next generation of attorneys while advocating for the rights of injured individuals across Texas.
