“Scott H. James and Ryan Johnson worked tirelessly to investigate the accident, explore treatment options for our child, and fight for our child’s rights. They brought in leading experts to help explain why this happened and to offer state-of-the-art treatment for our child. They treated us like family. They also fought so hard against the insurance company that it capitulated and paid the entire policy limits on multiple applicable insurance policies.”

“I am an attorney and asked Mark Siegmund to help me in a federal court trial in Waco. Very professional, very hard-working, definitely not there just to get a paycheck. I highly recommend him to attorneys who have trials in Waco.”

“This was the most important business transaction of my family’s life, and I trusted Scott H. James to represent us. He did not disappoint. His work negotiating and drafting the solar lease was spectacular, and the results speak for themselves.”

“When our family’s legacy was threatened by the financial exploitation of a family member, Ryan Johnson stepped in and fought for us. He was aggressive, tenacious, and reassuring, and his work helped to secure our family’s financial future. If your family or business is on the line, I wouldn’t hesitate to call him.”

“I hire Craig for our toughest cases. He is relentless, as well as creative and pragmatic. He is excellent at formatting a winning strategy and then executing it with precision. That’s why we hire Craig whenever we have to go to court.”

“I had a horrible accident at work that left me paralyzed and unable to work. Ryan hired experts in safety engineering who really helped explain why this happened to me and how it could have been prevented. They also hired medical experts to put a plan in place to care for me for the rest of my life. Ultimately, Ryan made sure that the people responsible for my accident were held accountable and that it never happens again.”
