I'm a trial lawyer with over 34 years of trial experience. I represent families, individuals and small businesses who have been harmed by the wrongful conduct of others.  I frequently sue insurance companies and large corporations. I represent accident and fire victims, widows, orphans, policyholders, and people who have been harmed and who need my help.. I'm Double Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Spcialization in Civil Trial Law and Personal Injury Trial Law, and I have tried complex civil lawsuits for clients in urban and rural courthouses throughout the State of Texas. Clients know that when they hire me to represent them, they get experience, integrity and results.. I have handled serious injury cases involving amputations, brain damage, burns, and spinal cord injuries. I have also handled a wide range of complex insurance claims and lawsuits. Clients who hire me don’t have to worry about having their case handed off to an inexperienced associate, because I give each case I accept my personal attention.. Cases I have tried to verdict have involved Accidents caused by Drunk Drivers, Breach of Contract, Catastrophic Accidents, Construction Defects, Corporate Negligence, Drowning, Industrial Accidents, Insurance Bad Faith, Longshoremen, Premises Liability, Toxic Exposures, 18 Wheeler Trucking  Accidents, Workers Compensation, Wrongful Death, Wrongful Seizure of Assets, and other complex issues.

I have spent my adult life trying to help those in need.. For 21 years I was a U.S. Air Force pilot and officer, and protected the United States, it's citizens, and Allies.  I am a combat veteran.  I am also a disabled veteran.. Today I protect and help clients facing legal issues ranging from consumers facing landlord-tenant issues, homeowners who have issues with construction defects, advise health care providers with their employment contracts or formation of their business entity, to my passion of helping veterans who are seeking benefits from the VA.. Assisting Veterans obtain and fight for their VA Disability Benefits is my passion.  As a disabled veteran myself, not only do I understand the frustration veterans face in the hampster-wheel process of the VA benefits process.  Not only do I understand the veterans, I am an expert in VA Law.. As a VA Accredited Attorney, I know the VA laws and regulations.  This knowledge allows me to assist veteran's obtain their benefits.  The VA is overwhelmed with case files.  An average Decision Review Officer has around 3000 cases assigned to them.  They do not have the time to read each page and determine how the veteran needs to support their case with evidence.  Instead the average VA rater reads to find errors and then denies the claim.. As an experienced VA Accrediated attorney I know how to develop the evidence to support your VA claim.. In my private life, I love my 4 children and when they were younger I was a baseball manager & coach while on active duty.  I am active in my church, enjoy gardening, raising citrus and tropical trees and plants, and being with my friends and family.

I have a wealth of estate planning, elder law experience and estate administration experience, having practiced in these areas for over 15 years.. I work closely with clients to craft estate plans which address their concerns including probate avoidance, tax planning, asset protection and elder law planning. The key to a good estate plan is to tailor the plan to your specific goals and implementing it ahead of time. I have unfortunately worked with many individuals who do not plan ahead, and the family is stuck paying for medical care out-of-pocket or suffering through the long probate process. I can use my broad experience to build an estate plan right for you and your family, serve your goals, help obtain Medicaid to access important long-term care and nursing home benefits, and make the estate administration process as smooth as possible.

I grew up poor but I figured out early on that education was the way out of poverty.  I always did well in school and, from the third grade on, I made up my mind I was going to become an attorney and help people.  Today, after many years of practice, I still have a burning desire to help the underdog and advance causes of social justice.   To me, the accident victim is the underdog in every case. He finds himself in debt with hospital bills, undable to work becauase of his injuries, and yet the adjuster won't even return his calls.  I get great satisfaction knowing I can level the playing field and get the adjuster's attention as soon as I enter the case.. When I am not seeking justice for my clients, I am either relaxing at home with my wife, traveling, or doing things with our grown twin daughters.  I love to read biographies and have a serious interest in American and Texas history.  I also enjoy spending time on my farm, tending to the land and riding and training my horses.

I did not start out as an estate planning attorney. Around 30 years ago, when I was practicing in the corporate section of Butler & Binion, a once major law firm in downtown Houston, I was recruited to join the firm's trust and estate section to assist business owners with their succession plans. The experience totally changed my understanding of the practice of law. I soon found that, as an estate planning attorney, I had a direct impact on how family members would relate to each other after a loved one becomes disabled or passes away. I loved the idea of being a family counselor, as well as an architect of an estate plan designed to protect assets and save money.. I left Butler & Binion in 1994 and joined with Tammy Manning in 1997 to form the law firm, Galligan & Manning. During the early years of Galligan & Manning, in addition to advising clients on estate planning matters, I worked with Tammy to help the firm's probate litigation clients find resolutions to the conflicts that often plague families after the death of a loved one.. One of the phrases I hear the most during an estate planning consultation is, "I just want everyone to get along after I'm gone." I have seen the triggers that can ignite a family conflict and result in heart wrenching and expensive litigation. This has helped me in my estate planning practice to show clients ways that conflict can be avoided or minimized after a loved one dies.. Whether it is working with a blended family, or with parents who want to protect their children from creditors or from losing their inheritance in a failed marriage, my greatest satisfaction comes when I hear a client say "I didn't know that was possible" or "I feel so empowered knowing that I can take steps now to keep peace in the future.". Many people think of estate planning as just focusing on an efficient transfer of assets from one generation to another, but to what end? I believe that my clients have as their purpose, not just the transfer of assets, but the desire to leave a legacy of love and family harmony.

I began my legal career in the management services division of a large, publicly-traded real estate investment trust. In this role I was responsible for the recruitment, hiring, evaluation, promotion and coaching of all employees reporting to me. As a member of the management team, I was driven to learn everything that I could about employment law to protect the company from liability. During this process I learned that many employment laws are so complex that they often provide no protection for employees at all. I wanted to do something to make sure that employees were treated fairly in our legal system. So, in 2006 I established the Dupree Law Firm with a valuable perspective on how companies approach employment law claims.. I am proud to have represented Texas employees for over a decade in cases before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), in state and federal court and in private arbitrations. I am confident that my unique background has produced favorable results for my clients. The best part of my job is helping employees who have traditionally been shut out of the legal system get the justice that they deserve.. I am a proud graduate of Florida State University where I completed both my undergraduate and law school education. I am licensed to practice law before state courts in Texas and before federal courts including the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, the Northern District of Texas, the Eastern District of Texas and the United States Court of Appeal for the Fifth Circuit.. Outside the office I enjoy spending time with my wife, our two wonderful children and our feisty Miniature Schnauzer.

I am the founder and managing partner of the Padua Law Firm. I represent individuals and businesses, both domestic in the US and foreign clients, in both. I also serve as general counsel for clients, providing transactional, business/corporate law, as well as litigation advice and services.. Our firm was established in 2007 by Alejandro L. Padua with the mission to provide comprehensive advisory services to clients whose needs could not be met by a traditional law practice.   We began building our practice one client at a time, focusing on specific areas in which we have significant legal, and in certain areas, business experience as well.. Our attorneys have solid educational foundations, with degrees from the University of Houston Law Center, The University of Texas Business and Law Schools, Harvard University, and NYU, and are continually being trained on cutting edge developments in the practice of law. Moreover, our attorneys have experience with prestigious past employers, including Skadden Arps, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, and Citigroup Energy.. The pedigree and experience of our attorneys ensure that clients obtain exceptional work product, meanwhile our core values and principles ensure the benefits of a dedicated advocate and intimate attorney-client relationship.  Padua Law Firm continually strives for state of the art client service while maintaining the personal commitment and intimate knowledge of our clients’ matters.. In short, our firm is based upon the fundamental principle of providing our clients excellent legal service so that they can focus on the more enjoyable and profitable aspects of their life and business.

I am honored to accept referrals and confidential inquiries from private practitioners, corporate counsel, professionals, or executives who need advice, trial counsel, someone to lead an internal investigation, or to assist them with other corporate governance matters. I work closely with other counsel to ensure that clients are getting appropriate advice.. A little more about me and my beliefs. I'm also an author, leader, and a part-time academic. While I stay quite busy with my professional obligations, there is far more to life than being an attorney--which can be an all-consuming profession. I value time with my family and consider myself to be, more importantly, a loving husband, father, and a Christian. And, from having worked since my teens, I appreciate the importance of hard work and in taking pride in what I do.. So much is at stake when people hire a lawyer that nothing less than giving it your best is sufficient. That does not mean, however, that an attorney must be a jerk to be effective. Instead, being an effective advocate means caring about your client, being professional and courteous other lawyers, and with court personnel, and government officials.. I put myself through law school while working full time. Later in my career, when I reached a very advanced position at a young age within the federal government as a prosecutor, I felt I needed to put my skills and experience to their best use--which led me into private practice. Before doing so, however, I returned to law school and obtained an advanced degree (an LL.M. in Tax Law) while working full time.. I was recruited into a blue chip firm in Houston, and a friend convinced me to get another LL.M. (Health Law) to further hone my knowledge and skills in this arcane area of practice. After obtaining this third law degree, I have maintained my ties with academia by teaching as much as my time permits.. At bottom, I am a blessed individual. I have many good friends and colleagues, a wonderful family, and believe that I have been blessed with the God-given talent and strength to serve others effectively. I still have the passion and desire to excel and to leverage my skills to the best of my abilities..

I am a native Texan, born and raised in Dallas. I left Texas to study economics at Purdue University and graduated in 2010 with honors. At Purdue, I participated in AIESEC and regularly played in all intramural sports. Also, I attended Bejing Jiaotong University for a semester on an expenses-paid scholarship to study Chinese. Studying abroad was not only educational but also incredibly fun and showed me how important it is to me to travel.. After college, I attended Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas and graduated in February 2014. In law school, I competed in the National Health Care Law Moot Court competition and successfully made a break out of 30 teams across the country. I also competed on the Transactional Law Meet team. Both of these competitions sharpened my advocacy skills I continue to use in my practice. During my first summer of law school, I interned with the Honorable Judge McFarland in the 133rd District Court in Houston, and the internship taught me insights relating to the courtroom I rely on still.. Before starting my firm, I worked at a mid-size family law litigation firm and a defense litigation firm both in Houston.. In my free time, I enjoy traveling abroad to hike and camp, including the Inca Trail in Peru and Patagonia in Argentina. I also had the chance to work on an alpaca farm in New Zealand for six weeks after I took the Texas bar exam, which was a unique way to experience a new culture. I have also been to South Africa, Germany, many Asian countries, and continually look forward to adding more stamps to my passport. Locally, I also appreciate what Houston offers, such as its famous restaurant scene.
