Texas is blessed with a number of very fine civil trial lawyers who serve their clients well. Civil trial lawyers in Texas are blessed with high quality dockets, many solely within the arena of private interests and many at the intersection of government and private interests. High profile cases are a subset of cases that involve issues of interest not only to the litigants but to the public as well. The fight often extends beyond the courtroom and requires skills beyond routine lawyering. While many lawyers are daunted by high profile cases, Stone Hilton and its seasoned lawyers thrive on them.
