We strive to meet and exceed expectations with every fresh challenge. Our firm exists for one reason: to pursue and achieve stellar results for our clients, who are often working people, small businesses, the disadvantaged and “underdogs” who have suffered injury or harm due to the negligence of others.

We take our role as advocates for the wronged seriously. Through our dedication to a principled, effective law practice, we literally change the world for many of our clients and their families. At the same time, we keep negligent and liable parties—such as large corporations, insurance companies and government agencies—on notice that we can and will fight cases before a judge and jury. Many claims settle before we go to trial but we are always ready to walk confidently into the ring on behalf of our clients.

• Great Benefits
• Work in a top Houston Firm
