Biography

Andrea L. Fair is a litigation attorney with Miller Fair Henry PLLC in Longview, Texas. Her practice focuses on Litigation - Intellectual Property, including complex commercial disputes and intellectual property matters in state and federal courts. After several years practicing at a Houston-based law firm, Andrea relocated to East Texas in 2016 to pursue a more active courtroom practice while continuing to represent clients in high-stakes litigation.

Andrea joined Ward, Smith & Hill, where she worked alongside accomplished trial attorneys in cases involving intellectual property, commercial litigation, personal injury, and wrongful death claims. The firm’s work in the Eastern District of Texas provided extensive experience in complex litigation, including matters involving patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property issues.

Building on that foundation, Andrea and her partners established Miller Fair Henry PLLC. The firm represents businesses and individuals in commercial and intellectual property disputes and also provides alternative dispute resolution services and other legal representation for clients throughout Texas. Andrea remains committed to practical advocacy, detailed case preparation, and thoughtful client service.

Andrea’s litigation practice includes developing trial strategies, preparing witnesses, conducting discovery, and presenting cases before judges and juries. She handles jury selection, direct and cross-examination of fact and expert witnesses, opening statements, closing arguments, motion practice, and oral advocacy at both the trial and appellate levels. She approaches each case individually, working closely with clients to understand their goals and the specific facts involved.

As a trial lawyer, Andrea values clear communication and careful preparation. She works to present complex legal and technical issues in a way that is accessible and persuasive for judges and juries. Her experience in intellectual property litigation includes matters involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, licensing disputes, and related commercial claims.

A native of Katy, Texas, Andrea developed an early interest in the legal profession through conversations with her uncle, an attorney who later became a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court. Those experiences helped shape her interest in legal analysis, advocacy, and problem-solving, which continue to guide her practice today.
