ABOUT SCH
OUR HISTORY
Lawyers from Scott, Clawater & Houston have defended clients against multi-million dollar claims and obtained seven and eight-figure verdicts and settlements on behalf of plaintiffs in contract, oil and gas, toxic tort, and personal injury cases.
Many of the firm’s attorneys began their practice on the defense side of the docket, and the firm maintains loyal defense clients. However, our attorneys also represent an increasingly diverse body of individuals and corporations, depending upon the needs and best interests of the client. The firm is widely known for representing individuals and businesses in virtually every type of civil lawsuit. Our attorneys have expertise in cases involving mass torts, class actions, product liability claims, claims of legal and medical malpractice, physician representation before the Texas Medical Board, attorney grievances before the State Bar of Texas, shareholder derivative claims, and a variety of business lawsuits, including breach of contract, insurance, environmental, oil and gas, and energy-related suits.
The firm has successfully defended lawyers, banks, tobacco companies, drug companies, oil and gas companies, steel companies, manufacturers, hospitals, partnerships, corporations, and individuals. At SCH, our attorneys aggressively pursue cases to trial and have been successful in obtaining favorable jury verdicts in hundreds of jury trials. However, sometimes the clients’ interests are best served by resolving disputes quickly through negotiations and favorable settlements. We believe in innovative fee agreements that result in client savings, with fee agreements that include partial contingent fee arrangements blended with hourly rates, as well as flat fee and contingent fee arrangements.
A good litigator is also a good counselor, always working with clients to reach the best result, whether by settlement or trial. – Sam Houston
