Brown McCarroll Attorneys at Law

No company is immune to business disputes. They can be unsettling and costly. When a dispute arises you want a timely resolution, but not at the expense of an unfair result. Our attorneys understand the position you are in and work with you to achieve the result you want.

Client Service. No Surprises.

Our team of attorneys is client service oriented. We bring a sense of urgency to all our cases and value our relationships with our clients. Your matter is important to us and so is your satisfaction with our service.

Litigation and predictability are rarely used in the same sentence, but we understand the strain unpredictability puts on you and your company. We keep you informed--about the risk, the cost and the probable outcome. Our clients expect and receive high quality services. We work hard to handle cases efficiently, keep the bills low and infuse as much predictability into our relationship as possible.

Trial Skills

With more than 35 litigators across Texas, we have the flexibility to handle your everyday disputes and your "bet the company" case. We pride ourselves on our thorough preparation, innovative trial strategy and persuasive presentation in the courtroom. We are tough when we need to be but thoughtful about our approach. We are adept at negotiations and can often resolve cases out of court when it is in the best interest of our client. 

We have experience in federal and state courts across Texas and are familiar with many Judges and their idiosyncrasies. With respect to jury trials, our trial lawyers have the ability to present evidence in a way that is easy for jurors to understand and analyze.

Recognizing that there are times when arbitration or mediation is more advantageous than trial, we have also developed our skills in these areas to most effectively help our clients regardless of the venue or method of resolution.

Our team includes attorneys selected by their peers for inclusion in:

• American College of Trial Lawyers
• American Board of Trial Advocates

We also have attorneys who are board certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in the areas of:

• Business Bankruptcy Law (Lynn Butler)
• Civil Appellate Law (Elizabeth "Heidi" Bloch)
• Civil Trial Law (Elizabeth "Heidi" Bloch, C.A. "Joe" Davis, Thomas Watkins)

It is our success in the courtroom that gives us these distinctions, but it is our preparation before trial that positions us well for victory. We have a sophisticated case management system and when appropriate use the latest technology to graphically present the evidence to highlight a point or make it easier to understand. When your case dictates the need for e-discovery, we work with leading e-discovery providers to take advantage of the most advanced cost-saving tools.

When you don’t want to personally deal with a business dispute, you can rely on our experience to manage the case for you.
