Greg Westfall

For over two decades, Greg Westfall has been a “courtroom lawyer.”

In the criminal arena, Westfall has handled thousands of cases, tried close to 100 and handled more than 75 appeals. He has tried many murder and capital murder cases, fought against the death penalty and fought against the federal government in cases ranging from mail fraud to material support of terrorism.

In 2000 Greg was Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Along the way, Greg has developed a reputation for intense preparation and formidable trial skills. He is particularly known for his work on complex criminal litigation – alleged white collar/business crimes and murder cases. Greg’s reputation has earned him recognition by his peers as a Thomson/Reuters “Super Lawyer”® every year since the list was created, an AV® Rating from Martindale Hubbell and a listing in their Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, and recognition as a Fort Worth, Texas Magazine “Top Lawyer” every year since the list was created.

In 2010, Greg extended his practice to civil litigation and accepts select civil cases. He has found that his business school background, experience with white collar criminal cases and 20 years in the courtroom have prepared him very well for the more paper-intensive civil work. Greg’s civil work has encompassed defamation, breaches of fiduciary duty matters, violations of civil rights, and employment matters.

Throughout his career, Greg has been keenly interested in how we can better communicate with juries. He conducts focus groups for other attorneys and writes and teaches extensively on the subject of juror communication and persuasion both in Texas and at Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College in Dubois, Wyoming.
