WE ARE TRIAL ATTORNEYS
Murray Fogler has tried over a hundred cases. Each of the other partners at Fogler, Brar, O’Neil & Gray has ample trial, arbitration, and appellate experience, typically more than peers of their same vintage. Fear of the courtroom will never taint our advice. When you are represented by our firm, the opposing party will know that you are willing to take the case all the way to a verdict, if necessary; this fact alone can often make a good settlement possible as the other side gets cold feet on the eve of trial.
WHAT WE’VE DONE
We have experience in nearly every type of commercial dispute. We have represented companies in breach of contract cases, partnership/joint venture disputes, business tort actions, class actions, breach of fiduciary duty lawsuits, and shareholder litigation, just to name a few. We routinely represent both plaintiffs and defendants, in both state courts and federal courts. We also routinely handle our clients’ appeals or co-counsel appeals with specialized appellate counsel.
WE ARE CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS
We think outside-of-the-box and often surprise our opponents with novel strategies that catch them off-guard. We understand that each case is unique and do not rely on a standard playbook. We identify the key issues at the outset of the litigation, and then deploy a strategy to leverage those key issues in our client’s favor. Our unorthodox approach has achieved incredible results for our clients.
WE ARE HIGHLY SKILLED
Our attorneys have been recognized for their accomplishments in the courtroom. It starts at the top with Murray Fogler, who is recognized by Chambers USA as a Band 1 lawyer in Texas for General Commercial Litigation for 2020. Because each of our attorneys is a highly skilled and qualified advocate, clients do not pay for multiple levels of oversight and micro-management. Instead, we divide tasks and work to provide you with the most efficient, highest quality work.
WE FOCUS ON YOUR GOALS
Too many times, law firms and lawyers forget the most important aspect of any litigation: the client’s goals. From day one, we will work with you to understand your goals, and our strategy thereafter will be shaped by those goals. We will communicate with you throughout the case and at every major juncture to ensure that our strategies continue to align with your needs and desired outcome. We pride ourselves on strategic, well-thought-out legal work that advances the client’s ultimate objective in the litigation. Not every battle needs to be waged in a “spare-no-expense” manner.
WE KNOW THE LOCAL LANDSCAPE
We have handled cases before many of the civil district judges in Harris County and the judges of the Southern District of Texas—Houston and Galveston Divisions. We know their local procedures and customs, and we use this experience to tailor our written and oral advocacy to resonate with the judge assigned to the case. We recognize that each judge comes from a different background and has a different perspective on the law. We craft our arguments accordingly, maximizing our clients’ prospects of success.
