Chamblee Ryan is a litigation law firm based in Dallas, Texas serving clients throughout the state, as well as nationwide. Few firms try as many cases to a jury as we do. We are able to handle nearly every type of civil lawsuit in state or federal courts across the United States. Since our inception, we have established a reputation for favorable verdicts and settlements. Since 1998, we have tried over 140 jury trials and have represented hospitals and health care professionals, transportation companies, construction entities, food producers and distributors, manufacturers, and numerous other companies or individuals representative of a wide array of industries.   

Litigation today, particularly the high-stakes litigation companies often face, has gotten riskier and more expensive.  As a result, many companies are reticent to see their cases to verdict, and fewer and fewer cases are going to trial.  Chamblee Ryan makes litigation cost-effective and we help eliminate risk.  Trial attorneys are like good pitchers- if you do not pitch routinely, your mechanics can get rusty.  Our attorneys actually try cases and our junior attorneys routinely participate in trials.  Chamblee Ryan attorneys have the skills, and the experience, that our clients need.  

Our founding partners are ranked among the top trial lawyers in Texas, and as a result we are able to offer a small firm approach for big firm clientele. Our reputation as an elite trial firm and our unique work environment has attracted additional attorneys from the top law schools and law firms. The firm’s clients include large national corporations, growing businesses, and esteemed individuals located throughout the United States. Our attorneys regularly engage in litigation in the State of Texas and have appeared in numerous courtrooms throughout the country.  

While we are able to provide a full spectrum of legal services to our clients, we are dedicated primarily to litigation. Our reputation in Dallas-Fort Worth as trial lawyers is well known. Opposing attorneys know we are willing to take a case through verdict. They also know we take a case to verdict for the win. It can be rare for “litigation firms” and “litigation sections” of large law firms to have trial experience and experienced trial lawyers; we have both. Our reputation is defined not only by our willingness to try cases, but by the exceptional results we produce. It’s this same reputation that often helps cases reach a favorable settlement when a jury trial isn’t appropriate based on an examination of the dispute.

In addition to litigating complex cases from inception, our firm is frequently retained to try cases prepared by other lawyers and to handle the post-verdict or appellate phases of cases tried by other counsel. We also handle federal and state regulatory and agency proceedings and alternative dispute resolution matters, such as arbitration and mediation.

Our mission is to resolve your litigation effectively, quickly and cost-efficiently. We provide exceptionally responsive and proactive service to our clients. Where appropriate and in the interests of our clients, we can consider alternative billing structures including contingent fee and project based arrangements.
