Marrs Ellis & Hodge LLP is a litigation boutique built to win high-stakes property disputes. Our approach to litigation helps explain our record of success. We prepare every case to go to trial, and our opponents know we will take our cases to verdict and on appeal if necessary. This reality makes good settlements possible.

Our lawyers have secured eight-figure settlements and verdicts for plaintiffs, obtained dismissal for defendants, and prevailed in scores of other cases in federal and state courts. Diligent preparation, creative problem solving, and skilled execution of sound litigation strategies are the hallmarks of our attorneys’ approach to practicing law. We are proud that our client roster, which includes individuals as well as Fortune Global 100 companies, consists largely of clients referred to us by former clients and lawyers who have seen us in action.
