What Makes Varghese Summersett Different?
There is no single “best lawyer in Fort Worth” or “best Dallas lawyer.” Every legal matter is different, and every client deserves an attorney whose skills match their situation. That’s why we’ve assembled a team of lawyers with different backgrounds and expertise.
Our partners include former state and federal prosecutors who understand how the other side thinks. Our founder worked as an insurance adjuster before becoming an attorney, so he knows the tactics insurance companies use to avoid paying fair compensation. This breadth of experience allows us to approach your case from every angle.
We have locations in Fort Worth, Dallas, Southlake, and Houston. Our goal is to help as many people as possible through life’s most difficult challenges.
Our Practice Areas
We handle three main areas of law. Each division is staffed by attorneys who focus specifically on that practice area.
Criminal Defense
Facing criminal charges can be terrifying. Our criminal defense team includes 11 attorneys across Texas, four of whom are Board Certified in Criminal Law (the highest designation for Texas criminal defense attorneys). All partners are former state or federal prosecutors with over 100 years of combined experience. Together, they have tried more than 750 cases before Texas juries.
We defend clients against charges including:
- State and Federal Criminal Defense
- Sex Crimes
- Assaults
- Drug Charges
- Intoxication Offenses
- Theft
- Family Violence
- Juvenile Crimes
- White Collar Crimes
Divorce and Family Law
Family law matters are deeply personal. Our family law attorneys have decades of experience handling emotionally charged situations, from high-net-worth divorce to complex child custody disputes. They know when to negotiate quietly and when to fight aggressively in court.
Our family law services include:
- High Asset, Complex Divorce
- Contested and Uncontested Divorce
- Collaborative Divorce
- Mediation
- Property Division
- Child Custody
- Child Support
- Adoption
Personal Injury
When you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation. Our personal injury team fights to hold individuals and corporations accountable. We have the resources and experience to go the distance, whether that means negotiating a fair settlement or taking your case to trial.
We handle cases involving:
- Wrongful Death
- Catastrophic Injury Cases
- Car Accidents
- Trucking Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Drunk Driving Accidents
- Construction Accidents
- Premises Liability Cases
We don’t charge unless you prevail. That’s our promise.
How Experience on Every Side of the Law Benefits You
Working with an experienced lawyer matters. But we believe true effectiveness comes from seeing every side of the legal spectrum.
Our criminal defense partners served as state and federal prosecutors. They know how prosecutors build cases and where weaknesses exist. Our family law attorneys handle both negotiation and litigation, understanding when each approach serves a client best. Our firm’s founder worked as an insurance adjuster, so he recognizes the tactics insurance companies use to minimize payouts.
This combined experience means we can anticipate the other side’s strategy and counter it effectively.
A Track Record of Results
Numbers tell part of the story. Our attorneys have secured more than 1,600 dismissals and 800 charge reductions for criminal defense clients. We’ve tried over 750 cases before Texas juries.
But results are more than statistics. Here’s an example of what our team can do:
A client in Tarrant County was charged with Aggravated Robbery and Evading Arrest, a first-degree felony carrying potential life imprisonment. Attorney Lisa Herrick challenged the evidence, negotiated with prosecutors, and secured a resolution of 18 months probation with the Evading Arrest charge dismissed entirely. What could have been decades in prison became probation with no prison time.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is different.

Affordable Legal Services Without Sacrificing Quality
We believe legal advocacy should be available to everyone. That’s why we set our prices to be affordable without compromising quality.
We don’t pad hours. We offer flat-fee services for many cases, so you know exactly what to expect. There’s no fear of a constantly growing bill with no explanation of what’s causing it.
Our firm also participates in local and state bar initiatives that provide free legal work to those in need. We represent clients through the indigent defense program because everyone deserves access to quality legal representation.
