Providing excellent service means we do not look to other law firms for inspiration on what service means. When we see a way to make the client journey better, we don’t stop to say “no one has done it that way before,” we ask, “how can we better serve our clients.” When we look at service, we ask ourselves, what did Horst Schulze do to make Ritz-Carlton a benchmark in the hospitality industry and what achieve excellence?

While it is impossible to know at the beginning of a case where it is going to end up, and while you should run from anyone who promises you a particular outcome, here’s what you do know when you hire Varghese Summersett: We have assembled a team of tenacious lawyers who we know and respect and we put them to work for you.

From day one, we wanted to do things differently at Varghese Summersett. We are dedicated to providing clients with white-glove service they wouldn’t get anywhere else. Part of that high level of service means we are going to provide our clients with exceptional communication. We never forget that the individuals who come to us have brought us the biggest problems in their lives. By being accessible in person, by phone, and by leveraging technology through the use of our client portal and video communication, we make sure a question from a client does not go unanswered.

It is no accident that our firm has grown over the last decade. We went from hanging a shingle to being listed in the Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the United States in less than 4 years. We believe that when we find lawyers who have built reputations similar to ours - trial attorneys who don’t back down and have earned the respect of their peers and the judiciary - we should bring them into our team. Similarly, when we find individuals who go out of their way to treat clients like family, we extend an invitation for them to come under our roof. Our growth allows us to raise the level of service available to folks in their greatest hour of need.

We are nothing without our team. We believe that each member of our firm brings in something more valuable than the hours they spend with us. They are an extension of us. The organizations they are involved with become the organizations we support. The causes they support become the ones we champion. From Habitat for Humanity to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, we support numerous charitable organizations both financially and through service because they are close to the hearts of our firm family. The scholarships we started, including ones for students with Autism and Down Syndrome, carry heartfelt significance to our team. We are part of this community, and we stand shoulder to shoulder, not just with our firm family, but also with you.

We have earned over 1,100 five-star reviews on Google. Quantity comes second to quality in our book - so we encourge you to go through and read the reviews. You’ll see why people trust us with the biggest problems in their lives.

We have gone to great lengths to hire the individuals we believe are the best and brightest in the industry. Our attorneys are known for their trial experience and their unwavering tenacity on behalf of our clients. Benson Varghese, Anna Summersett, and Letty Martinez are Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Lisa Herrick is Board Certified in Juvenile Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Whether you have a paid consultation with our divorce and family attorneys or a complimentary consultation with our criminal or personal injury team, you will have a meaningful conversation regarding matters we can assist with. Through this conversation, we will be able to answer any questions you have about the process while helping you understand the next steps and possible outcomes of your case. Our goal is to be transparent throughout this process so you have a chance to fairly assess whether we will be the best lawyers for you.

Nothing hardens you for battle like actual battle. Not every case results in a trial; in fact very few cases are resolved through trial. So why do we emphasize trial experience? Imagine you are the chief of a tribe, and two people come to you asking for a piece of your land. The first person uses very flowery language to explain why they want the land. The second person comes bearing battle scars, a confident stature, and a reputation that proceeds them. Who do you think is more likely to walk away with a piece of the land? The same is true when lawyers go to battle or threaten to. They are sized up. Unless you have the proverbial skins on the wall, your negotiations are going carry only a fraction of the value of someone who has been to trial and won. Today many attorneys are afraid of the risks of trial. We are not. We’ve proven we are at home in the courtroom. This makes a difference for our clients and sets us apart from the pack.
