We are a nationally recognized plaintiff’s trial law firm, founded in 2005, located in Houston’s Heights area. Occupying nearly 20,000 square feet, our growing firm is known for securing results through passion and tenacity. Our attorneys are frequent speakers at legal conferences, have earned accolades for their service, and have handled high-profile cases featured in national media and law school curricula. We specialize in wrongful death, catastrophic injury, truck and car accidents, workplace injuries, product liability, and other tort cases. Our high-energy environment is driven by passionate advocates who prepare every case for trial from day one, handling numerous trials across Texas annually.

At our core, we operate with a results-driven mindset. Every role—from intake to case management to attorneys—understands how their work directly impacts case value, client experience, and firm growth. Team members are empowered to make decisions, solve problems, and continuously improve processes rather than simply move files from one stage to another.

• Medical Balance Verification & Close-Out Prep: Verify all outstanding medical provider balances before negotiated/reduced totals prior to closing a case file.

• Settlement Check Pickup: Pick up settlement checks from opposing counsel and other firms per the firm’s check pickup protocol.

• Lien & Reductions Follow-Up: Own follow-up communication with medical providers and lien holders on outstanding negotiations at the direction of the Settlement Closing Team Lead.

• Provider Status Requests: Manage provider status requests by contacting medical providers and facilities to confirm current balance, lien status, or record status on assigned cases. Document all provider responses in the case management system.

• Returned Check Handling: Research and process returned checks by identifying the correct case, payee, payment amount, and appropriate recipient for reissuance.
