The lawyers at Hicks Johnson share a single goal: to get the results our clients need.
Hicks Johnson was founded in 2007 by lawyers from leading national firms who saw a demand for sophisticated, efficient, non-conflicted litigation services in the Houston market. Since then, we have grown into a 20-lawyer litigation, appellate, and arbitration boutique with national and international reach with locations in Houston and Chicago.
We have been recognized by every major U.S. rankings organization, including Chambers USA, Benchmark Litigation, Super Lawyers, and Global Arbitration Review. Most important, we win top marks from clients who count on us to deliver consistently successful outcomes.
Over the past 17 years, we have defeated billions of dollars in claims for defendants and collected more than $1 billion for plaintiffs in the areas of energy, healthcare, construction, corporate and securities litigation, and appellate work. Our lawyers routinely prevail at trial before federal and state courts throughout the United States and represent clients in domestic and international arbitrations. We also have an excellent track record of overturning adverse decisions and preserving victories in civil cases.
