Texas Attorney

Shook, Hardy & Bacon, L.L.P. (SHB) has established itself as a premier defense firm in the most challenging legal arenas. After early successes in tobacco litigation led to a cutting-edge Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Practice, we expanded our services to assist regional, national and international companies in multiple industries. SHB counsel now offers world-class expertise that covers class actions and complex litigation; arbitration and dispute resolution; electronic discovery and document management; and corporate transactions.

Since 1995, SHB has provided legal counsel to our clients from our office in Houston, Texas. Attorney and client relationships are very important to us. We conduct ourselves with the utmost integrity and professionalism, enabling us to have a very high client retention rate.

In addition, a large part of our community involvement focuses on providing pro bono efforts for clients that otherwise would not be able to afford our services. To solidify this ongoing commitment, SHB has appointed a full-time director of pro bono services, who partners with the Pro Bono Committee and a full-time pro bono staff to administer the program's day-to-day activities in our offices across the country, including Houston, Texas. Attorney Jolie Justus leads a talented, driven team that makes up our pro bono committee. A recent success spotlights a civil rights case involving a prison inmate in Texas. Attorney Scott Michelman, attorney David Hartnett and attorney Nick Deutsch worked effortlessly on this case. Before key witness testimony, the defendant agreed to pay our client damages of $114,000. Without our pro bono efforts, this client would likely not have had the ability to secure representation for this very important matter.

Parallel in importance to our pro bono efforts is our involvement with the Houston Volunteer Lawyer Program. We have represented indigent clients in consumer protection matters, divorces and contract claims.
