Practice Areas

We work with each of our clients to develop and implement litigation strategies designed to achieve the client's goals. We regularly represent clients in all types of civil litigation before federal and state courts throughout the United States.

Mr. Branham has substantial courtroom trial experience. Over the last 5 years, we have tried or begun trial in more than 50 cases all across the country, including in the states of Texas, South Carolina, California, Massachusetts, and Missouri.

Mr. Branham has been recognized by his peers in the 2007 and 2008 Texas SuperLawyers’ Rising Stars publication. We have represented clients in contract disputes, we have defended homeowners in cases of free speech and 1st Amendment issues, we have represented individuals in mesothelioma cases (a universally fatal disease caused only by asbestos), and we have represented startup companies in venture capital financing transactions. When you need to win in the courtroom, you don’t need a litigator; you need a trial lawyer... you need us.

Our experience trying cases gives us a unique perspective that benefits our clients in a number of ways. We know that your time and money are precious. We work in an efficient manner so as to provide both vigorous and cost-effective representation. Our trial experience also enables us to better evaluate the risks facing our clients in connection with their litigation matters. Our willingness to take a case to trial also places us in the best possible position when it comes to engaging in settlement negotiations with opposing parties.
