A number of partners, associates and support staff broke off in 2001 from a national litigation firm. They recruited and teamed with a select group of attorneys from New York and Dallas to form Lackey Hershman, L.L.P.

The unparalleled academic and professional background of these attorneys reflects a history of excellence in one of the nation’s leading litigation departments. They formed Lackey Hershman, L.L.P. in part to pursue clients' claims and defenses in the most aggressive and creative manner possible, without the constraints imposed on a larger, "established" law firm. Above all, the professionals at Lackey Hershman, L.L.P. are peerless problem solvers.

Lackey Hershman L.L.P.’s attorneys pride themselves on vigorously pursuing their clients' interests, in and out of the courtroom, with the zeal and expertise that is crucial when a client is faced with the business version of a life-or-death situation. We understand that if we limit our clients' battles to the courtroom, the game is often already lost.

We also pride ourselves on developing fee structures that align our incentives with those of our clients, to create an atmosphere that maximizes value and minimizes cost for all parties. To that end, Lackey Hershman, L.L.P. is at the forefront of developing blended fee arrangements that allow its clients a greater certainty in determining day-to-day legal costs, while providing a success fee that incentivizes the firm to win, rather than run up needless billable hours.
