Litigation

The members of Murray & Lobb are experienced litigators who represent both plaintiffs and defendants in a wide variety of legal matters. While not afraid to "mix it up" in litigation, it is our philosophy that litigation should only be considered as a last resort. We want to help out clients avoid litigation. When litigation becomes necessary we want our clients to feel in their hearts that they have been reasonable in attempting to resolve the dispute and that the filing of a lawsuit, or demanding arbitration, is their only recourse.

 

The lawyers at Murray & Lobb have both trial and arbitration experience. We have tried and arbitrated cases throughout Texas, from Houston to Dallas, San Antonio to Big Springs, and Mission to Beaumont, and most places in between. We have experience in County Courts, State District Courts, Federal Courts, and arbitrations before the American Arbitration Association, and the New York Stock Exchange.

Mr. Lobb's very first jury trial in 1986, before the former Chief Justice Thomas Phillips, resulted in a quarter of a million jury verdict for his client. This success has never stopped.

It is our philosophy to focus on the issues and keep a course that is designed to meet the expectations of our clients and further the claim to conclusion. Unnecessary depositions are not taken. Engaging in costly discovery disputes are avoided. We will not advance a baseless position. If a client desires harassing litigation, they are encouraged to look elsewhere for counsel.

We develop a litigation plan early in the case, often challenging our own clients to persuade us on the merits of the case. If we cannot be convinced, it is likely a Judge or jury will also not be convinced. We try to view every case from the perspective of a Judge or jury in an attempt to recognize the strengths and weaknesses in order to anticipate how the fact finder might decide.

Once litigation or arbitration is filed, we maintain that focus, zealously advocating for our client, to the end result. We are ever mindful that litigation is expensive and are always conscious of the expense to our clients.
