Varghese Summersett, one of the largest and fastest-growing criminal defense, personal injury, and family law practices in North Texas, has expanded to Houston with the opening of a fourth location.
The firm, which is headquartered in downtown Fort Worth and has locations in Dallas and Southlake, is now providing comprehensive legal services to clients in Houston, Pasadena, Sugar Land, Pearland, Richmond, and the surrounding areas.
Its newest location in Houston is strategically positioned to serve clients in Harris and Fort Bend counties.
“The decision to expand to the Houston area was a natural one for us,” said Benson Varghese, managing partner of Varghese Summersett. “Our firm has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, and we are committed to serving as much of Texas as possible. When we saw an opportunity to help people in one of the state’s largest cities, we seized it. I’m confident we have the right leader at the helm, and we are excited to build upon our reputation as the firm people turn to when facing life’s greatest challenges.”
Leading the Houston office is Mike Hanson, a highly accomplished criminal attorney who has been practicing in the area for nearly a decade—as a prosecutor, military lawyer, and now a sought-after defense attorney.
As a Judge Advocate (JAG lawyer) with the U.S. Army Reserves and a former D1 football player for Texas Tech University, Hanson is not afraid to go into battle — whether it’s defending his clients in court or advocating for justice outside of it.
“Joining Varghese Summersett and expanding its reach into Harris and Fort Bend counties is an incredible opportunity,” said Hanson, who serves as Senior Counsel for the firm. “This is my home, and I care deeply about the people and communities here. The firm’s reputation for excellence and dedication to clients aligns perfectly with my own values as an attorney, a soldier, and most importantly, a father. I think helping people through the lowest points in their lives is one of the most honorable things you can do.”
With the opening of the Houston office, Varghese Summersett is now poised to serve clients across Southeast Texas. The firm’s attorneys are known for their aggressive representation and exceptional outcomes in high-profile criminal cases, complex personal injury matters, and contentious family law disputes.
“Each division of our firm is composed of the brightest minds in the state of Texas, hand-selected for their experience, knowledge, and proven track record,” said Partner Anna Summersett. “They are the best at what they do, and Mike Hanson is no exception. We are thrilled to have him as our senior counsel for the Houston area. He will ensure that every person who walks through our door will receive the highest level of representation and support.”
