When you visit our website, you know this content was created with and peer-reviewed by a team of legal professionals from all ages and backgrounds. That’s why we have a dedicated section on our website that introduces every member of our legal team.
For the purposes of our editorial guidelines, “Website” pertains to everything you see on the “teamjustice.com” domain. We aim to enhance the quality of the content published on our website by indulging in a thorough peer review process. Any published article on our website was written by us, reviewed by us, and published for you, the reader.
Note that although we only cite trustworthy sources of information to back up any facts and figures, we cannot be responsible for the content published on other websites.
Our Contributor Credentials
Accuracy and reliability make our content stand out in the personal injury law field in Texas and beyond. We accomplish this by vetting each contributor based on their qualifications and legal experience.
Our team consists of veteran attorneys across the personal injury legal field. We go the extra mile to ensure that every contributor’s credentials align with the high standards of content we set ourselves.
We also deploy the same rigorous vetting process to our review processes to guarantee that the information we provide is accurate as of the time of publishing.
Editorial Standards
We believe that maintaining the highest editorial standards separates our legal resources from content you may find elsewhere. We spend hours researching, writing, editing, and fact-checking the veracity of everything we say to create not only engaging content but valuable content.
We have established a standardized editorial process to ensure that each piece of content meets the same standards as its predecessors. Here are some insights into how our editorial process works:
- Research – We take the time to dig into evidence-based research from a range of sources, including government publications, research papers, peer-reviewed medical journals, legal journals, and news outlets.
- Writing – Our experienced legal writing team drafts and edits to guarantee clarity, simplicity, and engagement in our effort to communicate complex information.
- Editing – Fact-checking with our internal legal editorial team to guarantee that each article’s claims can be backed up by indisputable evidence.
- Review – Our legal team initiates a further peer review to check accuracy before a piece of content can be considered for publishing. Any issues detected will be flagged, and changes will be requested before requesting a subsequent publishing review.
As you can see, everything we publish on the DJC Law website can take weeks to produce from scratch. It’s this attention to detail that sets us apart from our competitors.
Accuracy of Information
The cornerstone of our content is accurate information backed by verifiable facts from trustworthy sources. Our legal team studies the latest facts and figures from reliable sources to ensure everything we say is based on facts, not hearsay.
However, we understand that new findings can alter our content. For example, new studies and changes to personal injury law may impact your case. If this occurs, we go over our previous content and update it accordingly when these changes are brought to our attention.
Editorial Integrity
Integrity is the foundation of our editorial philosophy. At DJC Law, we provide unbiased, objective information that can be defended through facts from trustworthy sources. Furthermore, we do not allow ourselves to be influenced by external parties.
All of our content is available without any promotions or endorsements from other sources. We also vet our contributors to check that they are free from bias to guarantee that you, the reader, can trust the information you read on our website.
Relevance and Value
We endeavor to provide content that addresses the most common questions and concerns ordinary Americans have about personal injury law. It’s our goal to provide answers that empower readers to take control of their lives and make the best legal decisions for them.
Our content focuses on answering reader queries, breaking news, and addressing common points of confusion people struggle with. As part of this ongoing commitment to providing value, we refrain from any form of excessive self-promotion and content that isn’t aligned with the purpose of this website.
Authenticity and Originality
Authenticity and originality are core tenets of our content. We aim to provide objective and straightforward information while retaining our unique voice and providing original insights that go beyond the basics.
Throughout the content creation process, our team is called upon to deliver their unique legal expertise, legal experiences, and industry insights to inform their content. It’s this approach to authenticity that enables DJC Law to provide one-of-a-kind information that helps them to make the best legal decisions for them.

Our Mission and Values
Our mission is to represent everyday Americans who are seeking legal help. Many of our readers seek legal advice when they are at their lowest points or when they have a family member or friend who’s struggling. DJC Law is committed to seeking justice for our clients and securing them the settlements they deserve.
Our educational content reflects our mission by providing high-quality and accurate information that Americans can understand and act upon. The DJC Law editorial process focuses on aligning how we work with our values of trust and integrity.
Reader Engagement
We view our content as the beginning of a conversation, not a chapter in a legal textbook. We encourage our readers to get involved in the conversation by posting their comments, questions, and critiques.
Understanding our readership better lets us improve our content going forward. Our team is committed to listening to our readers and incorporating their feedback into future iterations of our editorial guidelines.
Moreover, we encourage our prospective clients to use anything they read on our website to open up communication channels with our legal team. Many of the cases we have pursued in the past have begun with a reader asking a question about something they encountered on our website.
Transparency in Sources
Sources are critical to showing that what we say is based on truth. Legal experts rely on citing facts when creating legal content, just as they rely on solid evidence to build cases that eventually go to court. Writing content is no different, which is why our editorial guidelines prioritize transparency in sources.
All of our articles feature references every time we cite a fact or figure. If you would like to investigate a particular fact further, we invite you to get in touch for a comprehensive list of sources we used for that particular article.
Review Board
No article is published on our website without going through a rigorous review process via our online submission system. All of our reviews are conducted by a dedicated review board consisting of senior members of our legal team, including our most experienced attorneys.
We consider peer-reviewed articles to be the cornerstone of what makes legal content trustworthy. Each article is submitted to the review board, which will unpick every word, statement, and claim to ensure that it aligns with the legal realities of today.
Some of the advantages of using an independent reviewer regarding content quality include:
- Accuracy – The review board double-checks that all content aligns with current laws and regulations to give it the credibility it deserves.
- Quality Control – Our review board performs thorough quality control checks to confirm that all articles published maintain a consistent level of quality across the board, including in voice, presentation, and coherence.
- Risk Mitigation – We know how costly it can be to publish incorrect and misleading information. Our review board uses its unique expertise and insights to mitigate the risk of publishing information that could lead readers in the wrong direction.
- Ethics – We place a strong emphasis on ethics, including maintaining client confidentiality, eliminating conflicts of interest, and providing legal advice responsibly.
Contributors may receive feedback from our review board, as well as requests for changes before an article is considered suitable for the DJC Law website. We also welcome feedback from contributors and readers regarding how our review board’s processes operate.
Fact Check
All content is subject to an independent fact check from our peer reviewers. We ask our contributors to double-check any sources or claims made in their content before sending it for review. An unrelated editor or member of our review board then performs another check to ensure that any claims are genuine and can be backed up by verifiable evidence.
Fact checks are conducted by the most experienced members of our team to eliminate any potential mistakes and to avoid damaging our credibility in the eyes of readers. If we lack confidence in a particular claim, it’s removed from the content entirely.
References, Sources, and Citations
All claims made, including legal data and statistics, are backed up by reputable primary references from the original website we consulted to obtain them. Crucially, we go out of our way to prioritize respected sources published online, including government websites, non-profit organizations, and scientific studies derived from respected institutions.
No claim is made as part of our content without ensuring we have solid evidence to defend any objections. However, we understand that new studies and changes to the law can alter previous statistics. That’s why we go out of our way to update our previous content with the latest references and sources.
All sources are cited in any published article. However, we also respond to requests for further information regarding specific sources.
Up-to-Date Information
The field of personal injury law is fast-paced, and changes to laws and regulations can change our position on specific subjects. Our legal team keeps its fingers on the pulse of the legal landscape, enabling us to make any necessary changes at the earliest possible information.
Our editorial process extends beyond soon-to-be and recently published content because DJC Law is committed to providing you with the latest information.
