Jason Snell came to establish his own law practice via a rather circuitous route.. Jason graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication. His minor area of interest was Business Communication. During his undergraduate studies, Jason reported for the school newspaper and held various leadership positions on campus, including president of both his graduating class and fraternity.. Jason also distinguished himself academically during his undergraduate studies by consistently being named to the President's and Dean's List. After college, Jason worked as a laborer in the construction industry in petrochemical refineries in the Port Arthur Area, and taught school at his alma mater, Port Neches-Groves High School, in Port Neches, Texas.. In 1996, Jason began law school at Texas Tech School of Law in Lubbock, Texas. During law school, Jason won the American Jurisprudence Award for academic excellence and was initiated into the honorary legal fraternity Phi Delta Phi (top 25% of class).. Jason then left Texas and traveled extensively in Europe.

After practicing for several years in Dallas, Jason moved to New York City where he was awarded his attorney's license in 2003.

It has been said that “litigation is notoriously time-consuming, inefficient, costly, and unpredictable.” Scott has devoted his commercial litigation practice to providing the opposite experience for his clients. It is rare for people or companies to expect to find themselves besieged in litigation; when that situation arises, however, Scott takes pride in helping his clients navigate the process to a favorable outcome.. Scott has been repeatedly recognized as a Super Lawyer—Rising Star by Thomson Reuters, a recognition bestowed on less than 2.5% of lawyers. He is a fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation, which recognizes the top 1/3 of 1% of Texas attorneys each year. He has represented Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, and local business owners in state courts, federal courts, arbitrations, and administrative agencies across the state of Texas. Scott has also successfully tried cases to juries ranging from multimillion dollar corporate disputes to construction cases. With each new case, Scott works to make litigation streamlined, efficient, predictable, and—most importantly–successful.. Born and raised in Dripping Springs, Texas, Scott has lived in the Austin area his entire life—except for a three-year stay in Waco to graduate from Baylor Law’s nationally-ranked trial advocacy program.

In 2017, after working over 21 years and becoming a partner at a highly respected Austin boutique litigation firm, I founded my own private practice, The Law Firm of T. Wade Jefferies, to help individuals and businesses throughout Texas efficiently resolve commercial, civil, divorce, and family law disputes. In 2024, my long term colleague and friend, Scott Herlihy, and I formed Jefferies & Herlihy, LLC.. I am an accomplished and seasoned litigator who focuses on commercial litigation, civil litigation and family law throughout Texas. I have represented numerous individuals in multi-million dollar disputes including representing a real estate company against John Wooley, Schlotzsky's CEO at the time; representing a well-known Austin architect and builder in settling a Judgment obtained by Sandra Bullock; representing a competitor of Waste Management Services in a lawsuit against Waste Management Services; representing a partner in an Austin-based consulting firm to life insurance companies in a lawsuit against his partner; and representing a multi-national health supplement provider in a dispute against his partner. I was also an integral part of a team of lawyers who obtained a $180 million judgment against Health Net, Inc, a large California based health care provider.. I also represent several businesses as their "outside" in-house counsel.. In addition, I have successfully handled numerous family law matters. I have represented numerous high-wealth individuals going through a divorce. In one case, after trial, the Court granted my client over 60% of the community estate plus close to $100, in attorney's fees. In numerous high-asset divorce cases, I have represented the wives with husbands who own successful businesses. The husbands generally claim that the businesses have no real value. With my accounting background and commercial litigation experience, I was able to determine the actual value of the business and reach a settlement favorable to my clients. Going through a divorce several years ago, I was exactly where my family law clients are and, because of that, I can offer empathy and help in a way that is unique and solution oriented.. My accounting background coupled with the breadth and depth of legal experience provides me with the ability to efficiently and effectively represent my commercial, civil and family law clients. I am peer rated AV Preeminent by my peers defined as "the highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills, and ethical standards." I am also a Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America. The Litigation Counsel of America is an invitation-only trial lawyer honorary society established to reflect the new face of the American bar. Membership is limited to 3,500 Fellows, representing less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers.. I look forward to protecting your interests.. - Wade

Despite his Jayhawk roots, Don now considers himself a Longhorn as well. Don began his practice in Houston in 1990 as a litigation defense lawyer. While a defense lawyer, he concentrated on medical device litigation and medical malpractice defense with one of the top ten largest law firms in the United States. In 1995, Don left the “dark side” and has spent his time since then representing injured people in lawsuits against insurance companies and corporations. At The Bob Richardson Law Firm, Don has successfully settled and tried cases ranging from minor impact car wrecks to million dollar wrongful death and medical malpractice actions.  He recently won an appeal at the Texas Supreme Court that preserved the rights of all Texans against automobile liability insurance companies who try to get out of paying valid claims. Don is married to a School Nurse Manager and is the father of two teenagers.

I represent and counsel clients on a wide variety of civil litigation matters, including business and commercial lawsuits, construction and real estate disputes, fraud and breach of contract actions, employment and non-compete claims. In this context, I have represented and advised clients in a variety of matters before municipal, county, district and federal courts, across the entire civil litigation lifecycle..

I practice law to help people and organizations resolve their disputes over money, property, or legal rights.  Sometimes, that just requires giving advice, writing a letter, or negotiating.  When it requires more, I draw on almost 20 years of experience as a litigator in state and federal courts across Texas.

I have been with FBHH for a little over five years.  I have two boys ages three and one which takes up most of my free time. I love living and working in Austin.  The legal community is really friendly and supportive.

I have a pretty idealistic view of the law. It’s cliché, but it’s a rewarding way to help people while also making my community a better, safer place. There’s a saying, “negligence is an extreme thing,” and it is, because negligence involves a choice, a choice to act unreasonably. When other people’s choices affect my client’s well-being there’s something special about being able to be there for my clients and to offer them a path forward.
