Best Law Firms in Austin, TX

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.

At Howry Breen & Herman, we have a simple mission: to fight and win the biggest and best possible results for our clients through aggressive legal action. For nearly 25 years, we’ve deployed this strategy for individuals and businesses and have obtained full and fair settlements. Our experienced team of trial attorneys has successfully tried of cases across a wide range of practice areas, including personal injury, commercial litigation, product liability, construction litigation, and more.

The attorneys of Thomas Williams McConnell PLLC have made careers going toe-to-toe with some of the country’s largest law firms and some of the bar’s biggest names and coming out on top. We do it for a fraction of the cost of our competition or on a contingent fee when appropriate.

Most business disputes, even significant ones, just don’t need two or more lawyers showing up at every meeting, every hearing, and every deposition. Only one person can argue a motion or take a deposition. Clients in litigation are usually better served by a single, guided missile rather than an army. That focused, direct – and unique – approach is what Thomas Williams McConnell PLLC offers.

What is also unique about Thomas Williams McConnell PLLC is we will try any case, anywhere, at any time.  We have tried almost every kind of case, tried them all over Texas and tried cases from California to Maine.

And when a case cannot be resolved short of trial, Thomas Williams McConnell PLLC helps clients tell their stories when it’s their day in court. We do this by creating compelling narratives that are consistent with the natural inclinations and life experiences of the jury. Our deep experience helps our clients achieve impressive results.
