About James Richardson

Thank you for considering our firm for your legal needs.

I have decades of experience in handling significant lawsuits for businesses and individuals, including high-stakes disputes regarding extremely important contracts, real estate holdings, trusts, and probate matters. My experience also includes handling cases involving intentional fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. I have also successfully tried or settled numerous significant disputes over construction defects and contractor performance. Many of my clients have prosecuted affirmative claims, while other clients have requested help in defending against claims brought against them.

My practice began with an international law firm in Houston where I handled complex litigation for five years. Later, I relocated and continued specializing in trials and arbitrations in substantial lawsuits.

I hold three active board certifications, one by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Civil Trial Law and two additional certifications by the National Board of Trial Advocacy in Civil Trial Law and Civil Practice Advocacy. These certifications require proof of experience, knowledge, and passing a written examination.

In 2020, I was elected President of the National Board of Trial Advocacy -- the largest private organization for attorney board certification in the United States.

I have been named to Super Lawyers for 15 years, including being named a Top 50 Super Lawyer in Central and West Texas for numerous years.

I am a Past Chair of the Civil Litigation Section of the Austin Bar Association and am an active Member of the American Board of Trial Advocates -- an invitation-only national organization of leading trial lawyers and judges from around the United States.

Our firm focuses on legal strategy in trying major lawsuits. We get to know our clients on a personal basis. If we may be of assistance, please feel free to call me. We do not charge for initial consultations. Thank you.
