Goals

Hi, this is Hugh Howerton . My main goal is to do what's best for you. I take very seriously, the trust you have placed in me if you are my client. I fully understand all what is at stake. Your well being whether it be medically, emotionally and financially is my main concern. I know you're hurting and likely scared. Scared about how you will pay your bills, care for your family and what lies ahead of you. I am here to give you the help you need and the answers you deserve.

Focus

I focus on the needs of my clients. My job is to get you a full measure of justice. This means uncovering the evidence, getting the witnesses' depositions, and using qualified expert witnesses to explain and document your harms and losses. By aggressively prosecuting your case, I put the most pressure on the insurance company to offer you full compensation for how your life has been affected without the need of a trial. I generally settle about 90% of my cases, however if a trial is necessary, just know I have a proven record of winning large verdicts. I will keep you updated on the developments of your case, promptly return your phone calls and answer all of your questions. You can have confidence that as my client you will be treated in a professional, sympathetic and ethical manner.

Given the sensitive nature of any personal injury or wrongful death claim the confidentiality of your case will be respected at all times and I will be available for updates and personal meetings to follow the progress of your case. Your calls and e-mails will be answered promptly.

Mark of Excellence

Board Certification is a mark of excellence and a distinguishing accomplishment. Within the Texas legal community, Board Certification means an attorney has substantial, relevant experience in a select field of law as well as demonstrated, and tested, special competence in that area of law.

One of the  Distinguished Few

There are more than 70,000 attorneys licensed to practice in Texas. Less than 3% are Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law.

Board Certified lawyers earn the right to publicly represent themselves as a specialist in a select area of the law. In fact, they are the only attorneys allowed by the State Bar of Texas to do so. This designation sets them apart as being an attorney with the highest, public commitment to excellence in their area of law.

Moreover, Board Certification is not a one-time event. It requires an ongoing involvement in the specialty area which is periodically substantiated with references from peers in that field. It also requires annual professional refreshment through Texas Board of Legal Specialization approved, continuing legal education course work to stay abreast of current trends in law.
