The Law Offices of Frank L. Branson, P.C.

Profile

ASK TEXAS LAWYERS AND JUDGES TO NAME THE STATE'S top civil attorneys. Ask CEOs who've endured his devastating cross-examination who they'd least like to face in court again. Ask former clients who can level the odds against faceless corporations. Frank Branson's name is sure to surface.

“As the son of a high school football coach from Fort Worth, I was taught to play with a full heart and to do everything within my power to win within the rules,” Branson says. “I've tried to practice law the same way.”

Forbes magazine has called him a legal “pioneer” and one of the most successful trial lawyers in the country. A 2008 D CEO cover story dubbed him “the guru of Texas personal-injury trial lawyers.” And, according to an article published in the 2008 Texas' Best Lawyers Dallas Edition, a corporate defense attorney who recently lost a multimillion-dollar verdict said simply, “I tip my hat to Mr. Branson. He teed it up, and he hit it a long way.”

For decades, Branson and his team of accomplished trial attorneys have been a leading choice for those seeking justice for injuries caused by negligence and dangerous products. They have fought groundbreaking legal battles against major automakers, tire manufacturers, trucking companies and airlines. The firm has expanded its practice to include commercial litigation involving business torts, contracts and fraud, and professional liability disputes, and has bolstered its expertise in this area to ensure continuity and high-quality representation for clients.

Branson has been listed among the state's Top 100 lawyers in every Texas Super Lawyers® edition, as well as The Best Lawyers in America since 1987. This year, Texas Super Lawyers again has listed Branson among the Top 10 lawyers statewide.

His significant victory representing the family of a man who died from injuries caused by a negligent truck driver was the eighth largest verdict in Texas in 2007 and was identified by The National Law Journal as one of the Top 100 verdicts nationwide last year.

Firm member Debbie Branson is also a repeat Super Lawyers honoree. A fourth-generation attorney, she holds a master's degree in psychology and has specific expertise and experience in litigation strategy, focus groups, attitudinal surveys, jury selection, argument and jury debriefing. She is a past president of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, and is active in civic and political organizations.

Quentin Brogdon has made the Super Lawyers list every year since 2003. He is this year's president of the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association and a former corporate defender who “has seen the light” and is passionate about representing injured clients.

Repeat honoree Greg Marks, an engineer as well as an attorney, enjoys the opportunity to help individuals find justice against large corporations and spur them to improve designs and change policies.

The firm's newest Super Lawyers honoree, Thomas Farmer, began his legal career more than two decades ago defending large corporations. For Farmer, the firm's deep resources and focus on extensive preparation, collaboration and tenacity provide valuable tools to place clients on a level playing field against the powerful corporate interests he once represented.
