Top best E Lawyers in Houston | 6775 available

I am an experienced litigator, having represented individuals and businesses as plaintiffs and defendants in a variety of civil, family, and criminal cases. Having represented creditors, banks, and other financial institutions for several years, I now represent people and small business owners in litigation ranging from consumer fraud and criminal defense to business-vs-business disputes. I pride myself on my common-sense yet aggressive approach in representing clients and my professionalism and integrity in dealing with opposing counsel and the courts.. ---. My Attitude. I am a true believer in faith, love, and happiness.  I have persevered through thick and thin with a positive attitude.  I do not expect that we can go through life without failure, but I aim for "failing forward" each time.  I learn from my mistakes and become a better person because of them.  I have made my share of mistakes, but after each mistake, I pick myself up and move forward!  I am grateful to my father for teaching me as a young boy that life is too short to waste time being mad or sad.  I took that advice to heart and made it a life philosophy.  I routinely speak to children and adults about a variety of subjects, but I always try to convey a positive message about hope, attitude, and achievement.. I would be remiss if I did not include here a quote that symbolizes my life philosophy, by one of my heroes, President Theodore Roosevelt:  "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.". My Charity. I have been blessed with a warm, nurturing, and generous family.  My friends and family have always given me the gifts of love and charity, and I try to pass those gifts on to others.  I believe in helping others because it is not only the right thing to do as a successful professional in today's world, but also the moral thing to do as a Christian and the social thing to do as a human being.  I give of my time extensively, especially when it involves children or helping those unable to hire attorneys.  I regularly speak to students on a number of topics, including life as an attorney, the legal system in Texas, how to achieve success, and keeping a positive attitude.  For one of my speaking engagements, I spoke on the special meaning of Brown vs. Board of Education to three classes at Waller High School in Waller, Texas, as part of the Houston Bar Association's commemoration of the 50th anniversary of that landmark United States Supreme Court 1954 opinion that essentially ended the "separate but equal" doctrine of the Jim Crow era in our country's history.  The Waller Times, the local newspaper, was kind enough to highlight me on their front page.  One of my most cherished speaking highlights was being the keynote speaker of the Year 2000 graduation ceremony of my alma mater, Hamilton Middle School in Houston.. I donate enough time to be part of the Pro Bono College of the State Bar of Texas, an exclusive organization whose members qualify by going above and beyond the call of their professional duty in donating free or low cost legal services.  In order to effectively help others, I believe in being skilled and knowledgeable in my legal practice and thus participate in enough continuing legal education to qualify me as a member of the College of the State Bar of Texas, an exclusive organization whose members qualify by going far above and beyond the minimum annual continuing legal education requirements to maintain their law licenses in Texas.  The greatest reward for me is the sincere appreciation I get from people I meet from all walks of life and the simple knowledge that I adhere to the values in which I firmly believe!  In honor of the volunteer work that I perform, The Houston Lawyer kindly named me a "Local Hero" and profiled me in its May/June 2005 issue.. My Hobbies. With all that goes on my life, I don't have a lot of personal free time. Rather than watching TV, I am a columnist in a national legal magazine and prolific writer and speaker. I am also certified by John C. Maxwell and Les Brown as a speaker, trainer, teacher, and coach, so I engage in a lot of leadership-based speaking and training.. My Future. While I do not know where God will take me in the future, I know that I will continue to love and be loved, help and be helped, and show and be shown that all things in life are possible.  The end of one era is the beginning of a new one!  Life is not meant to be passively watched as it goes by, but actively participated in as we go through it!  As Dr. John Maxwell, one of my favorite speakers, says, "Success is not a destination; it is a journey!"  I leave you with another of my favorite quotes:  "Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire," by President Abraham Lincoln.

I am an Estate Probate Wills and Trust litigator lawyer.  We are often involed in Will Contests, Will Challenges, and Trust Disputes including "Busting" or "Breaking" Trusts.     We handle large disputes around the state.. You can dispute a Will when typically on followig grounds:

I am an attorney and counselor who practices employment law exclusively. The overwhelming majority of my practice is representing workers and employees who have suffered discrimination in the workplace, wrongful termination, or been subjected to other illegal practices in the workplace. I am passionate about representing my clients, and work hard to tell their stories and see that they are treated fairly under the law. I have successfully prosecuted many discrimination and retaliation actions under federal and state laws, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, federal and state whistleblower statutes, and in constitutional and civil rights claims under Section 1983, as well as common law actions for breach of contract and related claims. If you are dealing with harassment or retaliation in the workplace, I will work with you to guide you in taking the right steps to preserve and fight your case and represent you in settlement negotiations, throughout the administrative process, and in court to reach the best result for you.. I have successfully represented clients in litigation matters in state and federal court across Texas. I also routinely represent clients in mediation to negotiate successful case outcomes, including claims arising from unlawful racial and sexual harassment. In addition to the State of Texas, I am licensed to practice in the United States District Courts for the Southern, Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. I also represent clients before the Department of Labor, including on whistleblower retaliation claims under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; and the Texas Workforce Commission. In addition, I have worked on several state- and nation-wide collective actions seeking overtime and minimum wage pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act.. I am Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. In 2024, I received the honor of being named a Super Lawyer® (a Thomson Reuters service). I was previously named as a Rising Star by Thomson Reuters from 2021-2023.. I am currently on the Board of the Houston chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA-Houston) and I previously served as President of NELA-Houston. I am also a member of other local organizations including the Houston Trial Lawyers Association, the Texas Employment Lawyers Association, and the Houston Bar Association.. I received my J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center, where I joined the Order of the Barons honors society and served as Associate Editor of the Houston Law Review. I also interned with the National Labor Relations Board, the Harris County District Attorney's Office, and the Texas First and Fourteenth Courts of Appeals. Before law school, I worked as a violinist and performed with the Houston Grand Opera, the Houston Symphony, and various other local and national performing groups and music festivals.. I started working for SLS as a law clerk during my studies at the University of Houston Law Center. After graduation, I joined the firm as an associate and have been fortunate since to work with a team of talented lawyers and support staff who share the same passion and dedication for justice in the workplace. If you believe that you have been wrongly terminated, suffered discrimination on the job, or simply have a question about your rights under the law, please do not hesitate to call or contact my office. I would be happy to speak with you.

I am a Warrior, an Advocate, a Knight in Shining Armour to my clients. I have the scars of battle to prove it, the humility gained through combat to never take the opposition for granted and to always be prepared. We who defend the Citizen Accused must never forget that we hold our client's lives and fortunes, their very future, in our hands. My Sword of Advocacy was honed from the time I began High School Interscholastic Debate Competitions in 1963 and continued through Law School Moot Court Competitions. For almost ten years I tried cases and trained young prosecutors. Now, I put that experience to work for my my years with the Harris County (Houston) District Attorney's Office in two administrations from 1975 to 1985, I coined the phrase "Trial by Ambush" where the worst cases (from the D.A.'s standpoint) roll downhill to suddenly confront the Number Three Prosecutor who "needs the experience". The Haggard Law Firm has fought against the government for the rights of Free Men and Women since 1991. I have learned through experience the meaning of the words of Plato: "Justice means minding one's own busniness and not meddling with other men's concerns."

I am a trial lawyer dedicated to helping executives and others protect their rights. You worked hard for your position, salary, and benefits (stock, health insurance, etc.), and I'll work just as hard to protect them. Since 1994, our Firm has negotiated thousands of settlements, including severance packages, for executives, "c"-level officers, senior-level management, and others. You will want a seasoned trial lawyer handling your negotiations from the beginning so that you are fully protected in the event you find yourself in litigation -- which is typically an avenue of last resort. You will also want an attorney undaunted by the people trampling your rights. I have taken the depositions of CEOs, judges, mayors, police chiefs, company owners, chairmen of boards of directors, and others who oftentimes act like they are above the law. This experience is a reality check for many when they are called to task under oath and the truth is exposed. Since graduating from South Texas College of Law in 1993, I'd say that, other than negotiating settlements, the cross examination of witnesses (at trial and at deposition) is my favorite thing to do.Of equal import, our Firm has a great reputation among employment defense lawyers in Texas and across the United States. We have worked hard since establishing the Firm in 1994 to earn and protect our good name, so we know what's at stake when your employer attempts to take yours from you. Although some of our case successes are listed on this web site, feel free to call me to discuss our Firm's specific experience handling cases involving issues such as yours. For example, just recently I won a $3.2 million sexual harassment verdict against a former judge. For that victory, I was named "Litigator of the Week" by Texas Lawyer. I also have the honor of having handled a whistleblower lawsuit involving the City of Houston, Texas, which resulted in what I believe is the largest such jury verdict against the City. My client, Sam Levingston, was awarded in excess of $1.2 million, plus attorney's fees. I have also successfully handled multi-state class action claims against Starbucks and Brinker International. These are not meant to be fully inclusive, nor as guarantees of success, but are a reflection of the commitment I make to each case I accept. Whether your issue involves Sarbanes-Oxley, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, state-enacted whistleblower laws, discrimination, breach of employment contracts, or wage violations (including class actions), I will dedicate the Firm's resources to protect your rights.Although I was born in Chicago, the fine State of Texas has been my home since 1977. I am licensed to practice law in Texas, and in other federal jurisdictions. If a case involves people or issues in other states, we'll travel or retain local counsel to ensure we are on a level playing field. No matter what you decide, I want you to find counsel with whom you fit. You should select a law firm with deep, relevant experience. Please call or email me so that we can explore whether Shellist Lazarz Slobin, LLP can be of assistance.

I am a Texas Board Certified Family Law attorney and have been practicing for over 35 years in the Houston area.  I received my Doctor of Jurisprudence from Houston College of Law, formerly South Texas College of Law.  I was admitted into the State Bar in 1985.  I am also licensed to practice Law in Florida, Hawaii, and Oregon.  I am a member of the College of State Bar of Texas, Houston Bar Association-Family Law section, Gulf Coast Family Law Specialist Association, Association of Women Attorneys, and Texas Academy of Family Law.. My outside activities include yoga, bicycling, and am a past member of the Contemporary Arts Museum and the Houston Ballet Guild.. I am skilled in handling complex legal issues, including custody and property cases.  I am dedicated to crafting creative amicable solutions, when practical, to avoid the unnecessary cost of litigation.. I am very well versed in interstate divorce cases and custody disputes. And I am a devoted advocate for my clients.  I understand the emotions and turmoil that can accompany family law cases.

I am a Senior Managing Attorney with 30+ years experience in Personal Injury Litigation.  I am Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law.  I started working at PMR Law in 2024.  PMR Law provides representation for cases involving injuries sustained in all types of motor vehicle accidents, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck and commercial vehicle collisions, and 18-wheeler accidents. We also provide representation after construction accidents and workplace accidents, and for injuries from dangerous drugs and products..

I am a native Texan, raised in an East Texas town called Warren.  My wife is Tiffany, and we have two young sons named Jaxon and Ford.  We live in Kingwood, Texas, and our kids attend public school in the district for which my wife works.. I attended the Warren schools from kindergarten through 12th grade and graduated valedictorian in my class.  I then attended Lamar University in Beaumont on an academic scholarship and graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's in political science and an English minor.. In 1998, I began teaching and coaching.  During the next nine years I taught primarily English and served as head basketball coach and tennis coach in Texas high schools.. In 2007, I quit teaching and began attending the Texas Tech School of Law on a full academic scholarship.  In 2010, I graduated summa cum laude, passed the bar, and was admitted to practice law in Texas.. Since then, I have had the honor to work with fantastic lawyers in Lubbock, Beaumont, and Houston, where I have been since 2012.  I work for Mark Lanier, who is regarded by many as the best trial lawyer in the nation.  I work primarily for our briefing team in the Issues and Appeals section.  In that role, I have been fortunate enough to prepare legal briefing in numerous complex matters, including antitrust, general commercial litigation, international arbitration disputes, pharmaceutical and medical device cases, general personal injury, and many more.  In many of these matters, I have argued the issues, dispostive and non-dispositive, at the hearing or oral argument.. As a longtime cancer survivor, I know what it is like to look death in the eye.  I believe that surviving cancer gave me a faith in God and a strength that makes me fear nothing.  In my practice, I never fear a task or opposing counsel, and I always work as hard and as intelligently as possible to further our clients' interests.

I am a native of Longview, Texas, but live in Houston with my wife Lauren. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Texas in 2001 and my law degree from South Texas College of Law in 2005. While in law school, I was president of the Student Bar Association and an academic merit scholar. I served on the law school’s Pro Bono & Access to Justice Board and received the Dean’s Citizenship Award. I served as president and founder of ADR Advocates and I am a Certified Impartial Third Party, who has mediated cases for the Harris County Better Business Bureau and Houston’s family courts. While in law school, I also established Triple Play, an annual charity softball tournament involving Houston area law firms and law schools, benefiting local charities, including the Houston Area Women’s Center.. Since 2005, I has represented hundreds of cancer victims, and their families, from all across our country.  I have represented victims of mesothelioma and ovarian cancer, whose fates were unjustly the result of corporate negligence, misconduct, and greed. For more than half a century, asbestos manufacturers hid the truth about the hazards of asbestos in order to maximize profits, which has robbed our families of the opportunity for a happy, fulfilling life and often resulted in the death of our loved ones. While we would hope that corporations would acknowledge their wrongs of the past and fairly compensate families who have suffered at the hands of corporate greed, we continue to see businesses failing to protect consumers, as is clear from the recent revelation that talcum powder manufacturers have known for decades that their products can cause ovarian cancer, yet they continue to choose profits over providing a fair warning.. I have fought vigorously and tirelessly to help mend the emotional and financial devastation suffered by these victims and their families, and I continues to be an advocate for truth and corporate responsibility to help prevent other families from suffering the same fate.. Throughout my career, I has achieved substantial recoveries on behalf of his clients and was named one of Texas’ Top Outstanding Young Lawyers in Personal Injury LItigation for 2013. In addition, my peers in the legal community selected me as a Texas Rising Star for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2018. I am also a member of the State Bar of Texas, American Bar Association, Texas Trial Lawyers Association, and Houston Young Lawyers Association.

I am a native Houstonian, dedicated to defending the rights of the citizen accused. I have never worked for law enforcement, and I have never worked for the District Attorneys Office. The reason for that is simple: my passion flows only one way, and that is to defend those citizens accused of crimes.. I'm Board Certified in Criminal Defense, and there is no one more equipped to handle your trial, your appeal, or your post-conviction case. I understand people.  I understand the law. And I'm willing to fight either one, to protect you.

I am a native Houstonian but earned my undergraduate degree from Columbia University in New York City.  Texas and New York certainly have their differences. The experiences of living in both places has been a tremendous asset to me.  Likewise, I have been both a prosecutor and an attorney in private practice. Seeing litigation from different sides has helped me offer informed legal aid and direction for my clients.. During the 10 years that I served as a prosecutor and felony district court chief in the major offenders section, I handled a variety of criminal and civil cases, specializing in white-collar crime, civil litigation, DWI, and many others. As a prosecutor, I began to notice that many defendants weren’t receiving proper representation from their attorneys—and most suffered convictions, prolonged sentencing, and higher fines because of it.. It wasn’t long before I decided to launch my own law firm to offer defendants zealous but honest representation. I became board certified in criminal defense law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and established my own law firm in order to provide my clients with legal aid to guide them through the rigors of defense law litigation. To that end, I’ve successfully represented countless clients facing charges ranging from DWI’s to murder—all backed by my experience arguing on both sides of the courtroom.

I am a native Houstonian born and raised. A son of an attorney, it did not take me long to fall in love with the profession knowing that one day I would practice law as well.. Following high school, I attended Trinity University as a student athlete and during that time I was a member of the perennially NCAA ranked Trinity men’s soccer team. Go Tigers! After my graduation from Trinity, I returned home to Houston for a year and worked as an accountant evaluating toxic tort claims for a local law firm. That work experience confirmed my childhood curiosity of law and compelled me to enroll at Baylor in the fall of 2011.. While at Baylor University’s School of Law, I was elected president of the Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity, class secretary of the Student Bar Association, and actively participated in the various legal clinics offered through the school. Upon graduation from Baylor and completion of the bar exam, I returned to Houston to begin my career.. Since returning to Houston I have re-immersed myself in the world of soccer, both by volunteering with local youth associations as well as participating in both indoor and outdoor leagues. In addition to soccer, I have also taken up running and spin to stay active. Outside of athletics my hobbies include hunting with my brother and father, four-wheeling, and cooking.

I am a Houston lawyer with over 20 years of experience.  Our law firm represents Texas clients in divorce cases, child custody matters, child visitation, child support cases, and other family law disputes.. Before forming The Larson Law Office with my wife and law partner, Diana Larson, I was a partner in the Houston, Texas office of a multi-office, Texas based law firm for several years.. A cornerstone of our law firm is personal client service and responsiveness - Diana and I personally handle every case that we accept.  If you hire our law firm, you are hiring the two partners and owners of the firm.  You will not be speaking about your case with a junior lawyer fresh out of law school, or with a paralegal or secretary. You will be speaking with Erik or Diana - the lawyers you hired and the lawyers who are handling your case.. I represent Texas clients in contested and uncontested divorce actions, child custody and modification proceedings, child support and modifications, visitation cases, enforcement and modification proceedings for property and support orders, suits affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCR), and paternity lawsuits.

I am a highly motivated, detail oriented attorney who has represented clients in a broad range of matters with excellent results.  I have been licensed since 1993 and during this time, my primary areas of practice was divided between commerical litigation, insurance litigation and personal injury litigation, better identified as trial work.  Since opening my law practice in 2014, I continue to practice in these areas but have now aquired new areas of experience in both the drafting of various business related documents and consulting with small business owners on matters of corporate structure and risk. Visit my website at  for more information about my practice.  Let me help you!

It is my privilege to represent clients and to force the government to act with strict compliance with the Constitution and the rules of criminal procedure. I will go to any length to protect my clients' rights. I fear no man, and absolutely love fighting it out in a courtroom.. Oftentimes, I discover law enforcement errors in how they handled an arrest or investigation. I discover many of these errors in the area of search and seizure.

Forcing the prosecution to turn over all of the evidence is another tactic which I maximize for my clients' benefit. I pride myself on knowing my clients' cases inside and out. Cases are won and lost in the details. I can devise unique strategies for defending my clientss cases because I am intimately familiar with all of the facts of the case.. I strive to remain supremely prepared for each stage of my clients' cases.
