Texas Trial Lawyers
Wilshire & Scott P.C., a Houston-based law firm, practices civil trial and appellate law with an emphasis in the areas of business, commercial and corporate litigation. The firm's clients range in size from large publicly traded corporations to closely held growth firms and individually owned businesses. The philosophy of the firm is that successful dispute resolution will be achieved when the controversy is managed by the most qualified attorney backed by well-trained personnel and advanced technology. The practice of law at Wilshire & Scott is built upon a solid foundation of academic excellence, specialization, continuity and experience. With that base, the firm stands committed to the creative, effective and successful representation of its clients. Wilshire & Scott is constantly striving to continue to earn the honors it has received.
We are civil trial and appellate lawyers whose practice has been built on the esteem of other lawyers. Many of our clients have come, in the first instance, as referrals from other members of the bar. Over the years many attorneys have regularly entrusted their most valued clients to us when litigation needs arose. The firm's clients are located throughout Texas and the United States and represent a multiplicity of industry sectors. In addition, many of our clients have been lawyers. The first new client that retained our firm was an attorney, and, through the years, more than 100 lawyers, including entire firms, have entrusted their personal law suits and disputes to Wilshire & Scott. We are both proud and humbled by this fact.
From inception, the firm has concentrated and generally restricted its practice to civil business litigation and controversy resolution. Since the founding of Wilshire & Scott in 1986, we have been privileged to represent clients that have retained us in matters that extend across the full panoply of business disputes, covering the broad range of business litigation: contracts, real estate, landlord-tenant, securities, oil and gas, banking and finance, business torts, insurance, employment, professional services, food service, construction, and environmental management. Our practice has entailed the representation of clients in a number of venues in state and federal trial and appellate courts.
