About Our Firm

Formed in 1980 by two division chiefs from the Office of the Texas Attorney General, our firm was built on a foundation of deep government law expertise.

Over four decades, we’ve grown strategically by bringing in accomplished attorneys with practices in litigation, banking, corporate law, and water law—lawyers who understand both the complex and routine legal challenges facing our clients every day.

What sets us apart is experience that matters. Many of our attorneys are former elected officials, government appointees, and public employees who developed the knowledge and relationships that benefit both private business and public entity clients.

With offices in Austin, El Paso, Houston, and McAllen, and clients in nearly every county across Texas, we deliver sophisticated legal services with the personal attention and cost efficiency that larger firms simply can’t match.

Beyond providing exceptional legal representation, we maintain strong ties to our communities and active involvement in the legal profession. Our leadership roles and proven track record of results reflect the dedication we bring to every client matter.
