Houston Attorney

Shook, Hardy & Bacon, L.L.P. (SHB) began providing legal services in 1995 from our office in Houston. Attorneys, research analysts and paraprofessionals comprise a team of approximately 1,500 employees that are dedicated to providing our clients with professional, comprehensive legal representation.

As a leader in litigation around the globe, we believe every SHB Houston attorney is equipped with the characteristics necessary to uphold our well-earned reputation for representing our clients successfully with exemplary customer service and dedication. SHB works with clients to make significant progress in the recruitment and advancement of attorneys from diverse backgrounds. We are actively involved with the Minority Corporate Counsel Association and a supporter of ?A Call to Action: Diversity in the Legal Profession.? We also participate in the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, an organization of chief legal officers from Fortune 500 companies and law firm managing partners dedicated to improving diversity in the legal profession.

Along with our experience and expertise from the boardroom to the courtroom, every SHB Houston attorney is active in the community. We stress community involvement, including taking on a number of pro bono cases for the underprivileged and underserved in Houston. Attorney visibility is important, which is why we participate in programs like the Houston Volunteer Lawyer Program. In our pro bono efforts, we have represented indigent clients in consumer protection matters, divorces and contract claims. A recent pro bono case involved defending the civil rights of a Texas prison inmate. Houston attorney David Hartnett, attorney Scott Michelman and attorney Nick Deutsch worked successfully to obtain damages of $114,000 for our client. To learn more about our Pro Bono Committee and the full-time pro bono staff that administers the program's day-to-day activities in Houston, attorney Jolie Justus may be contacted at our Kansas City office.
