Michael West is the law firm’s principal attorney, David’s son and Laura’s husband.
He has over 20 years of experience as a trial lawyer handling major civil litigation, but has also represented clients in estate planning, probate and real estate.

With the amount of experience we have, we know what the best decision for a case is and will guide you through based on it.

Our practice is quite literally a family. We have Michael West, our principal attorney and his wife, Laura, who is our business manager and mediation coordinator. In addition, there is Michael’s father, David West, who served as a judge in Harris county from 1984 to 1997. We have quite a bit of experience among us and it’s all in the family.
