Our lawyers have extensive experience litigating in the highest courts and representing clients whose issues of law require vigorous advocacy, careful strategy, and procedural nuance.

Judd Stone, former Solicitor General of Texas, and Ari Cuenin, former Deputy Solicitor General of Texas, are experienced advocates before the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the Supreme Court of Texas. Our appellate team has deep experience tackling the most complex issues from before litigation begins through merits arguments at the Supreme Court and at every intermediate stage. We bring a unique set of skills to the table, and our polished, analytical approach wins cases. And when time is of the essence, we will mobilize those skills in seeking emergency relief, whether through federal or state courts.

“The members of our team who have come from the Solicitor General's office include Judd’s trusted colleagues, who have the experience not just to support Judd but to effectively argue matters in appellate courts across Texas. We are proud to have brought such seasoned appellate advocates together to serve our clients.”

Stone Hilton also has a preeminent amicus curiae practice, and we can represent your views, interests, insights, and positions in courts that are considering issues important to you. Whether you have an adverse final judgment you would like to challenge, an interlocutory issue ripe for consideration, or need litigators who know the subtleties of original proceedings, our team can handle any appeal or other matter you bring to our door.
