OUR FIRM

We will work tirelessly to obtain the compensation you deserve and need to get your life back.
We are situated across from NASA, not far from the Houston Ship Channel and the various plants where many of our clients work and live.  Our office is not downtown, or far from our clients. While we practice statewide, it is important to us to be available locally to those we represent. We are proud to have been named in the Top 3 of the Houston Chronicle's Best of the Best 2025 for Personal Injury Litigation -- a recognition that we owe to the trust of our clients and community.

ALEX HORTON
Alex Horton is a Texas personal injury trial lawyer whose practice focuses on serious injury, wrongful-death, maritime, industrial, trucking, and appellate matters. He is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. His practice is built around direct involvement, careful preparation, and candid advice.
‍
After law school, Alex clerked for Justice Paul W. Green at the Supreme Court of Texas. He then spent fifteen years at an established personal injury firm, where he worked on significant cases involving life-changing injuries and wrongful death and developed substantial trial and appellate experience.
‍
Alex graduated summa cum laude from South Texas College of Law Houston. He served on Law Review and competed on the school’s nationally ranked moot-court team. Before law school, he worked in the Texas Legislature. He is a Texas A&M graduate and an Eagle Scout.
‍
Alex was born and raised in San Angelo and grew up in West Texas. Those roots continue to shape how he practices law: honesty, hard work, straightforward advice, and personal accountability are values he brings to his relationships with clients, co-counsel, and opposing parties.
‍
His background includes maritime and vessel cases, workplace and industrial injuries, trucking and vehicle cases, wrongful-death matters, and personal injury appeals. He has handled matters before the Supreme Court of Texas and appellate courts throughout the state. Other lawyers frequently call on him to assist with legal briefing, dispositive motions, preservation, jury-charge issues, mandamus proceedings, and appeals in significant injury cases.
‍
Clients work directly with Alex throughout the case. His role is to explain the legal and practical choices clearly, stay involved in the work that matters, and provide steady guidance through a process most people never expected to face.
SARAH HORTON
Sarah Horton is a Houston-area attorney with courtroom and investigative experience developed as a Harris County Assistant District Attorney and later as a criminal defense attorney. Her background gives the firm an additional perspective when serious injury matters intersect with law-enforcement investigations, witness credibility, or complicated factual records.
‍
Sarah is a native Houstonian and an experienced trial lawyer. During her criminal-law practice, she tried twenty-four cases to verdict.
‍
Her work as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney required direct witness examination, evaluation of physical and documentary evidence, courtroom decision-making, and communication with people facing high-stakes situations. Those skills translate naturally to serious civil cases where the facts must be developed carefully and explained clearly. Before practicing law, Sarah competed in Division I collegiate golf and graduated from Birmingham Southern College. Competing at that level required discipline, perseverance, preparation, and a constant drive to improve—qualities that continue to shape how she approaches difficult cases and represents clients. She later graduated from South Texas College of Law Houston.
‍
Sarah is active in the Clear Lake community. She serves as an elected member of the Nassau Bay City Council and heads the legal studies program at Lutheran South Academy. Her connection to the area informs the personal, practical way she works with clients.
