Burwell Nebout, LLP

Profile

Russell G. Burwell III continues his family’s tradition of careers in the law. His father has represented injured Texans since 1970. His mother, Gladys B. Burwell, is the Galveston County probate judge. His sister, Rebecca, is also a lawyer.

RENOWNED EXPERTISE

Burwell primarily handles injuries due to industrial accidents, maritime incidents and motor vehicle collisions.

Although known for its successful verdict history in the personal injury arena, the firm also handles commercial and labor litigation.

Many plaintiffs are ordinary folks who are up against giant corporate entities. Burwell and his partners are up to the task with the skills and resources necessary to level the playing field. Further, the firm employs cutting-edge technology to help illustrate the facts and to expediently handle each matter.

HOMETOWN LAWYERS

Like his partner James D. Nebout, Burwell grew up in Galveston County. The lawyers live and work there from their Texas City office. Every client is treated like a good neighbor.

While located in a small town, the firm handles cases on a national and international basis, from industrial accidents in Africa, maritime injuries in the Caribbean, railroad cases in Oklahoma and Utah to injury cases all over Texas.

Burwell, who interned for U.S. District Judge Samuel B. Kent, is board-certified in personal injury trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and in civil trial advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.

He is a past director of the State Bar of Texas and the Texas Young Lawyers Association as well as past president of the Galveston County Bar and Young Lawyers associations.

He is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. In 2000, he was named the Galveston County Outstanding Young Lawyer.
