Litigation

Litigation is the firm’s largest practice area, comprising one-third of the firm’s lawyers. Our trial lawyers include former state and federal judges, law clerks, and active community and business leaders. We represent some of Texas’s most prominent businesses and individuals, including Fortune 500 companies and Forbes 400 individuals engaged in industries such as transportation, technology, manufacturing, healthcare, real estate, retail, and oil production. We handle complex cases- on both sides of the docket- in state and federal courts throughout the nation, as well as before administrative agencies and arbitration tribunals.

It is our belief that litigation is most effective if the opposing side knows the firm’s attorneys are capable of successfully trying the case- and are willing to do so. That is certainly our reputation. Eight of our litigation partners are listed among the Best Lawyers in America, and six were recently honored as Texas Super Lawyers by Texas Monthly magazine. One of those, Marshall Searcy, was named one of the top ten lawyers in Texas regardless of practice area. He was the only lawyer from Fort Worth to be so honored.

Our partners are assisted by some of the best and brightest associates in the state. We make it a practice to hire top law school graduates and to invest the necessary time and effort to train those lawyers in case evaluation, discovery tactics, and trial strategy. We believe our system works: seven of our young litigators were recently named Rising Stars by Texas Monthly magazine, recognizing the top 2.5% of all attorneys in Texas under the age of forty.

Of course, talent alone is not enough in today’s world. That is why our trial lawyers are supported by cutting-edge technology, maintained and supported within the firm. We have in-house computerized database and transcript-management facilities utilizing state-of-the-art hardware and software systems. This technology helps our attorneys organize and retrieve documents, share information, and graphically present information to judges and juries in a seamless, persuasive manner. We pride ourselves on clarity of presentation.

Finally, we are mindful that litigation is rarely profitable or pleasant and that clients often want to avoid expensive, protracted litigation. When trial is necessary, our goal is to work with our clients to develop and implement an effective, efficient strategy to win. When trial is just one of several options, our goal is to help our clients look for sensible business solutions. Either way, we are committed to meeting our clients’ objectives.
