Biography

A zealous advocate for those involved in personal injury litigation and complex business disputes, Stephen Higdon is not afraid to stand up for clients. Anytime. Anywhere. That confidence is firmly rooted in his extensive courtroom experience where he has handled a wide range of civil litigation at both the trial and appellate levels.

Stephen started his legal career clerking for the Honorable Michael H. Schneider in the Eastern District of Texas, where he was responsible for hundreds of complex civil and criminal cases and participated in trials ranging from products liability to the most complex business disputes.

The breadth and depth of that experience provided the foundation for his development and success as a trial lawyer and appellate advocate. Building on that experience, Stephen has obtained favorable judgments and settlements for clients.

Those victories have led to several peer-selected honors, but never one to rest on his laurels, Stephen continues to strategically and aggressively pursue the best possible outcome for his clients.
