Experience Matters

Our personal injury lawyers have been fighting for justice in courtrooms in Texas and across the country since our founding in 1959. Unlike many law firms that handle accident cases, we are trial lawyers. The advantage of hiring true trial attorneys is leverage.

On Your Side

You don’t have to accept an unreasonable settlement when you have the ability to go to trial and get full and fair compensation. The other side will take notice when you hire injury lawyers with experience in the courtroom. Often, we are able to negotiate a settlement without going to trial.

Highly Trusted

Our business was founded on serving our clients with honesty, integrity and excellence. Over 60 years later, we carry on our founders’ goals. Our personal injury attorneys are dedicated to treating every single client with the respect and care they deserve.
