We provide experienced representation in a broad range of civil litigation and dispute resolution matters. For more than 50 years, we represented businesses, professionals, insurers, governmental entities, property owners, and individuals, delivering strategic, trial-ready advocacy tailored to each client’s unique needs.

Professional Liability

Professional liability litigation involves legal disputes where licensed professionals—including attorneys, accountants, engineers, architects, real estate agents, brokers, insurance agents, and healthcare providers—are accused of negligence, malpractice, or breach of professional duty. Our firm represents both professionals facing claims and those who have been harmed by professional misconduct. We handle defense of malpractice lawsuits, licensing board investigations, and claims involving breach of fiduciary duty or professional standards violations. Whether you need aggressive defense to protect your professional reputation and livelihood, or experienced advocacy to hold a negligent professional accountable, we bring strategic litigation skills and deep knowledge of professional standards to achieve favorable outcomes for our clients.

Commercial Litigation

Commercial litigation covers the full spectrum of business disputes that can arise in today’s competitive marketplace. Our firm represents businesses, partnerships, corporations, and individual entrepreneurs in cases involving breach of contract, business torts, shareholder and partnership disputes, non-compete and trade secret violations, fraud claims, breach of fiduciary duty, and disputes with vendors, customers, or competitors. We handle matters in state and federal court, and before arbitration panels. Our attorneys understand that business litigation is not just about winning in court—it’s about protecting your company’s interests, preserving valuable relationships where possible, and positioning your business for continued success. We combine aggressive advocacy with sound business judgment to achieve results that serve your company’s long-term goals.

Real Estate Litigation

Real estate litigation encompasses disputes involving residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Texas. Our firm handles a wide range of real estate conflicts, including breach of purchase agreements, title disputes, boundary and easement controversies, landlord-tenant conflicts, construction defects affecting property value, and specific performance actions. We represent buyers, sellers, real estate agents, brokers, landlords, tenants, developers, and investors in both state and federal court. Our attorneys understand that real estate disputes often involve significant financial stakes and business relationships. We work efficiently to resolve conflicts through negotiation, when possible, while maintaining the trial-ready posture necessary to protect your property rights and financial interests when litigation becomes unavoidable.

Construction Litigation

Construction litigation involves disputes arising from building projects of all sizes, from residential homes to large commercial developments. We represent contractors, subcontractors, property owners, developers, suppliers, real estate agents, brokers, and design professionals in matters including breach of contract, construction defects, delay claims, mechanic’s and materialman’s liens, payment disputes, bid protests, and warranty claims.

We help clients navigate Texas construction law, enforce contract rights, recover payment for work performed, defend against defect claims, and resolve multi-party disputes.

HOA and COA Litigation

Homeowners’ associations (HOAs) and condominium owners’ associations (COAs) face unique legal challenges in managing common-interest communities. Our firm represents both associations and individual property owners in disputes involving covenant enforcement, assessment collection, board governance, election challenges, architectural control issues, maintenance and repair obligations, and conflicts over common areas. We help associations enforce their governing documents and fulfill their fiduciary duties to the community, while also representing homeowners whose rights have been violated by improper association actions. Whether you need to compel compliance with community standards, challenge an improper fine or restriction, or resolve a governance dispute, we provide knowledgeable counsel tailored to Texas property law and your community’s specific needs.

Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation

Insurance coverage disputes arise when insurers deny claims, refuse to defend policyholders, or fail to provide the benefits promised in the policy. Our firm represents policyholders and businesses in disputes with insurance carriers over coverage denials, underpaid claims, delayed payments, and bad faith refusal to settle. We handle matters involving commercial general liability policies, professional liability coverage, property insurance, business interruption claims, and directors and officers liability policies. When an insurance company fails to honor its obligations, we hold them accountable under Texas insurance law, seeking not only the coverage our clients purchased but also damages for bad faith conduct when warranted. Our goal is to secure the full insurance benefits you deserve and the financial recovery necessary to make you whole.

Subrogation

Subrogation involves the recovery of losses paid by an insurer or other party from those legally responsible for causing the damage. Our firm represents insurance carriers, self-insured entities, and other subrogation claimants seeking reimbursement for property damage, casualty losses, workers’ compensation payments, and other claims. We pursue recovery from negligent parties, product manufacturers, contractors, and other responsible defendants through negotiation, litigation, and trial when necessary. Our attorneys understand the complexities of subrogation law, including contractual subrogation rights, equitable subrogation principles, and the defenses frequently raised against subrogation claims. We work efficiently to maximize recovery while managing litigation costs, helping our clients recoup their losses and maintain their bottom line.

Civil Trials and Appeals

When litigation cannot be resolved through settlement, skilled trial advocacy becomes essential. Our firm has extensive experience representing clients in civil jury trials and bench trials across diverse practice areas. We handle all phases of trial preparation, including witness preparation, expert coordination, motion practice, and courtroom presentation. Beyond the trial court, we represent clients in appellate matters before Texas Courts of Appeals and the Texas Supreme Court, as well as federal appellate courts. Whether you need to appeal an unfavorable judgment, defend a verdict on appeal, or seek mandamus relief, our appellate attorneys craft persuasive written and oral arguments designed to achieve reversal, affirmance, or other appropriate relief at the appellate level.

Probate / Wills and Trusts

Probate and estate matters involve the administration of a deceased person’s affairs and the distribution of assets to heirs and beneficiaries. Our firm assists executors, administrators, trustees, and beneficiaries with probate administration, will contests, trust disputes, guardianship proceedings, and estate litigation. We handle contested probate matters involving will validity, undue influence, testamentary capacity, breach of fiduciary duty by executors or trustees, and disputes among heirs. We also assist families with the probate process, ensuring proper administration and distribution of estates in accordance with Texas law. Whether you are navigating the probate system, defending your inheritance rights, or addressing fiduciary misconduct, we provide the guidance and advocacy necessary to protect your interests and honor the decedent’s wishes.

Premises Liability

Premises liability cases arise when property owners or occupiers fail to maintain safe conditions, resulting in injuries to visitors, customers, or tenants. Our firm represents both injured parties seeking compensation and property owners and businesses defending against injury claims. We handle slip and fall accidents, inadequate security claims, swimming pool accidents, dog bites, negligent maintenance cases, and other incidents involving unsafe property conditions. For injured clients, we work to establish the property owner’s liability and recover damages for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. For property owners and businesses, we provide vigorous defense against unwarranted claims while ensuring compliance with Texas premises liability standards.

Trucking Liability

Trucking accidents often result in catastrophic injuries and complex litigation involving multiple parties, including truck drivers, trucking companies, shippers, maintenance providers, and insurers. Our firm handles trucking liability matters involving commercial vehicle collisions, cargo-related accidents, driver negligence, hours-of-service violations, improper maintenance, and violations of federal motor carrier safety regulations. We represent both those injured in trucking accidents seeking full compensation and trucking companies and drivers defending against liability claims. Our attorneys understand the unique regulatory framework governing the trucking industry and the technical evidence required in these cases. We conduct thorough investigations, work with accident reconstruction experts, and build compelling cases to protect our clients’ rights and interests.

Products Liability

Products liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers accountable when defective or dangerous products cause injury. Our firm represents individuals and businesses harmed by defective products, including cases involving design defects, manufacturing defects, failure to warn, breach of warranty, and violations of consumer protection laws. We handle claims involving automotive defects, defective machinery and equipment, dangerous pharmaceuticals and medical devices, toxic substances, and consumer products. We also defend manufacturers and retailers against products liability claims. Our attorneys understand the technical and scientific issues involved in products cases and work with expert witnesses to establish causation and liability. Whether seeking compensation for injury or defending your company’s products, we provide experienced, effective representation.

Mediation

Mediation offers parties the opportunity to resolve disputes efficiently and confidentially without the time and expense of prolonged litigation. Our firm represents individuals, businesses, insurers, and professionals throughout the mediation process, helping clients evaluate legal and business risks, develop effective negotiation strategies, and pursue practical resolutions that align with their objectives. We prepare every mediation with the same level of diligence and strategic planning that we bring to trial, ensuring our clients are well-positioned to negotiate from a position of strength. Whether mediation occurs before litigation, during active litigation, or on the eve of trial, we work to achieve cost-effective settlements while protecting our clients’ legal and financial interests.

Arbitration

Arbitration provides an efficient and flexible alternative to traditional litigation for resolving complex commercial and civil disputes. Our firm represents clients in domestic and international arbitration proceedings involving business disputes, construction claims, insurance coverage matters, professional liability, real estate conflicts, and other contractual controversies. We have experience representing clients in arbitrations administered by leading arbitration institutions, including the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Our attorneys assist clients throughout every stage of the arbitration process, from drafting and enforcing arbitration agreements to selecting arbitrators, conducting discovery, presenting evidence, examining witnesses, and enforcing or challenging arbitration awards.
