Best Law Firms in Texas for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs

Founded in 1959, Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson, LLP enjoys a strong reputation for high quality legal representation. We specialize in serious and complex personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice and business litigation cases.

Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson traces its roots to Tony Byrd, who founded our law firm with the goal of representing injured clients. Mr. Byrd believed that the clients’ best interests could be served by taking their cases before a jury of their peers where they could be fully compensated for the injuries sustained.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s when only a few national firms had the competency to handle product liability, aviation and complex medical litigation, our firm stood at the forefront of developing personal injury law. In the course of our history, our attorneys have successfully represented injured plaintiffs against almost every major manufacturer in the United States, foreign corporations and nearly all the major aircraft and helicopter manufacturers in the world. The firm has obtained recoveries for victims of government, local public entities, hospitals and drug manufacturers’ wrongdoing.

Beginning in the 1990s, Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson expanded its practice into commercial litigation, representing clients in breach of contract actions in various contexts. We served as class counsel in oil royalty litigation against the eight largest unified petroleum producing companies and recovered over $19 million on behalf of our clients. Since then, we have continued to expand our practice into business disputes over breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation, partnership and fiduciary liability, real estate disputes, and class actions.

Today Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson carries on our founder’s goals. Throughout our history we have remained dedicated to serving our clients with honesty, integrity and excellence in legal services.

After more than half a century, we remain among the top trial firms in the United States. Our lawyers continue to be recognized as speakers, faculty members and leaders in professional organizations. Our skills continually develop, our technology is cutting edge, and our research and investigation skills are unmatched for successfully pursuing recoveries for our clients.

With more than a century of combined litigation experience, the founders of Cherry Johnson Siegmund James set out to build a robust regional firm providing skilled representation in three key areas: Commercial Litigation, Intellectual Property, and Personal Injury.

Over the years, we have curated a team that reinforces our firm’s core focus: navigating the challenges and intricacies of high-stakes litigation. Each of our attorneys brings their own unique strengths, and they all exemplify the qualities we bring to every client relationship:

• Commitment to delivering unmatched value
• Meticulousness in the preparation and execution of legal strategy
• Fearless and tenacious in protecting your assets and well-being
• Dedication in our drive to achieve positive outcomes

Injury Law Firm Serving San Antonio and Clients Throughout South Texas

There are many reasons why people throughout South Texas choose our firm to go to bat for them and fight for the compensation they deserve. Some of them are:

We are serious attorneys for serious injuries. We understand that any vehicle wreck or other injury-causing accident can be disruptive. Even a minor fender bender resulting in minor pain can be a physical and financial burden. When an accident causes severe injury and significant property damage — things that are truly life-changing — victims need and deserve experienced legal representation.

We have decades of combined experience negotiating fair settlements for our clients and fighting in court when compensation is on the line. We have developed the most effective strategies for holding negligent parties accountable for their actions, and always look for every possible way to help our clients.

We are more than just lawyers; we are members of the community. We come from hardworking South Texas families.

With a firm of our size, we can ensure that our clients can always speak with an attorney when they have questions about their case or concerns about case strategy, while maintaining a staff that can handle routine matters and make the process as simple as possible. And, whether our clients speak with a receptionist, paralegal or attorney, they will always be treated with respect, dignity and understanding.
