Client Testimonials

We started working with Brad Ertl shortly after his graduation from law school. He is now responsible for defending us in oilfield liability and auto lawsuits across the State of Texas. Brad is an excellent lawyer. Smart. Creative. Tough. Brad also has the highest integrity. There is no other lawyer we want watching our back.

–– General Counsel for an international oilfield service company

I have worked with David and Sarah for more than 12 years. They are exceptional trial lawyers with an impressive presence in the courtroom. We have gone to verdict together in difficult cases with company money on the line, and I have seen them treat the witnesses respectfully, the court with dignity, and win the jury along the way. I also appreciate their attention to matters early on, and trust that they know when to recommend that a case be resolved before things become entrenched in heavy litigation.
