Profile
Judge John J. Specia, Jr. spent 18 years on the 225th District Court bench (1988–2006), including service as Bexar County's administrative judge, before Governor Rick Perry named him Commissioner of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (2012–2016). Now mediating with Anderson Cilfone, the 1975 St. Mary's law graduate draws on a half-century in Texas courtrooms across family, personal injury, medical malpractice, construction, and commercial dockets.
