Expertise. Leadership. Compassion. Results.

Our attorneys have helped thousands of victims of accidents and injuries caused by catastrophic vehicular and trucking accidents, oil field explosions, medical and hospital negligence, medical device and pharmaceutical design defects, and personal injuries caused by negligence and gross negligence. Our highly recognized attorneys take on multinational corporations every day and hold them accountable for their actions. We handle cases across the United States, and we are national leaders in both individual cases and mass torts. Our practice areas include IVC Filter Complications, Transvaginal Mesh,  Surgical Staples,  Dangerous Products, Wrongful Death & Catastrophic Injury and Medical Malpractice & Hospital Liability.

Over the past few years, our trial successes include multi-million dollar jury verdicts against major IVC filter manufacturers, including a record $3 million dollar verdict in a bellwether IVC filter case filed in the Cook Medical MDL in Indianapolis. This verdict, which at the time was largest actual damages award ever obtained in any IVC filter case, was tried by a team of lawyers led by Ben C. Martin.  The jury in Brand v. Cook Medical Inc. and William Cook Europe, found, for the first time, that a medical device company had defectively designed an IVC filter.

Since then, our trial lawyers have won four other IVC filter verdicts in jury trials against C. R. Bard, Inc. and Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. (“Bard”), including a $3.3 million actual damages verdict that broke the firm’s previous record, in one of the largest such awards nationwide in an IVC filter case.

Ben Martin Law Group’s recent trial successes are not limited to IVC filters; they include a wrongful death case tried in Dallas, Texas against a multi-billion dollar railroad company. In Rigsby v. Kansas City Southern Railway, a Dallas, Texas jury found the railroad responsible for the tragic death of a driver at a dangerous railroad crossing.

These verdicts represent but a small portion of the verdicts obtained by Ben Martin and Ben Martin Law Group lawyers through the years, and are a telling indicator that the unfailing and dedicated work by the talented lawyers and staff at the firm make those results happen. Read about our dedicated and talented lawyers as you look through our website.

Our lawyers are national leaders in litigation involving thousands of victims. Ben C. Martin was appointed and serves as Co-lead counsel of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in the Cook Medical IVC filter Multi-District Litigation pending in the Southern District of Indiana (where the Brand case was tried). Ben is also on the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in the Cordis IVC filter litigation and is co-lead counsel in coordinated litigation pending in Philadelphia against Rex Medical regarding its Option IVC filter. Ben is an integral part of trial teams in IVC filter, transvaginal mesh, and other important cases pending in federal and state courts across the country. Our lawyers and staff are the reasons for our successes at trial and at the settlement negotiation table.

We are leaders. We are compassionate. We obtain results. For these reasons, referring attorneys regularly entrust their clients and their cases to us. We are honored to serve each of our clients.

Seasoned Trial Attorneys
Serving Texas

Many attorneys claim to specialize in trial law, but never see the inside of a courtroom. Not so at Deans Stepp Law. Our attorneys, including partners Gregory Deans and Katherine Stepp, have a combined total of almost five decades of experience trying cases in the courtroom, as well as in arbitration. We offer that experience to our clients in each and every case.

Our founding members worked together for years at one of the largest law firms in Dallas, representing Fortune 500 companies and other high-profile clients in virtually every legal matter under the sun. Together, we felt that we had something new to offer – a different way of doing things. We wanted to find a way to take our big-firm experience and combine it with a personal approach that our clients simply wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. Once we realized that, the next step was to open our own firm together.

How is our approach different?

First, we’re a part of your team. Even within a single practice, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to the law. So, before doing anything else, we work with you to create a set of goals that will form the foundation of our legal strategy. From there, we’re with you through every step of the process. We understand any legal dispute can be stressful and know that effective communication can go a long way toward allaying that. You’ll have questions, and we’ll be there to answer them. Simply put, you’ll be at the center of everything we do.

Second, our team of experienced attorneys prides itself on being more collaborative than most. When we take on a client, you’re not just getting a single lawyer’s experience and insight but the entire firm’s when it’s needed. Not a pile-on, with layers of lawyers, but a smart, efficient approach that means better solutions for you. You’re a part of the family now, so get used to the attention.

We believe that people like working with people they like, and that’s why we put personal service at the forefront of every client relationship. We get to know our clients, talk about family and vacations, and share an occasional bottle of wine. Connections are important to us.

We’re glad you found us, and we know that once you learn a little more about our attorneys and what we can do for you, you’re going to like working with us.
