Houston Attorneys

The Houston attorneys at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, L.L.P. (SHB) are proud of our firm?s legacy. Frank Payne Sebree started his career in Marshall, Missouri, as a well-respected attorney and member of the 1888 state legislature. Frank relocated to Kansas City to take part in the area?s exponential growth. In 1911, Samuel B. Sebree entered his father?s practice, where he represented a prominent railway company that is still counted as an SHB client. The Sebrees were later joined by another Marshall lawyer named Edgar Shook, who received the city?s first ?Man of the Year? award for cleaning up corrupt local politics; famed trial attorney Charlie L. Bacon; and products liability pioneer David R. Hardy. The latter in particular garnered the firm a reputation for crafting meticulous, creative and cost-effective strategies capable of winning contentious cases. Known today by the surnames of these three prominent attorneys, the powerhouse firm has expanded to nine offices strategically located across the United States and Europe in Geneva, Kansas City, London, Miami, Orange County, San Francisco, Tampa, Washington, D. C. and Houston.

Attorneys with our firm have a well-earned reputation to maintain, and they do so through excelling in the courtroom. Our Houston attorneys, and attorneys throughout the firm, excel in both national and international litigation, focusing on the defense of global product liability claims, class actions and other complex torts. In addition, the firm boasts skilled corporate law attorneys who bring years of experience to the full spectrum of business needs. This combination has ranked SHB attorneys among the most sought-after practitioners in corporate transactions and high-stakes litigation across the globe.
