Hicks Thomas LLP is a premier Texas-based litigation boutique committed to delivering high-impact, practical solutions for complex disputes. Founded in 1997, the firm has built a reputation for strategic advocacy, deep trial experience, and a client-centered approach.
Hicks Thomas serves clients in sectors such as energy, construction, environmental, healthcare, insurance, intellectual property, labor & employment, real estate, and corporate business disputes. The firm handles both plaintiff and defense matters, offering appellate and trial services tailored to each client’s objectives.
What distinguishes Hicks Thomas is its philosophy of blending legal rigor with business insight. Rather than treat litigation as a detached adversarial exercise, the attorneys take time to learn each client’s goals and constraints. They ask two guiding questions: “What can we do to help?” and “What can we do better?” This mindset enables them to frame disputes not just legally, but strategically, aligning litigation pathways with commercial imperatives.
The firm’s credentials reflect widespread recognition. Its attorneys have been honored in publications such as Chambers USA, Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, Benchmark Litigation, and Lawdragon's 500 Leading Lawyers in America. Hicks Thomas prides itself on being “Houston’s Top Litigation Attorneys” while maintaining nimble responsiveness and hands-on client service. Whether navigating high-stakes appeals, trade secret disputes, environmental claims, or employment controversies, the firm brings a sophisticated, results-oriented mindset. In the courtroom or at the bargaining table, Hicks Thomas positions clients for success through rigorous advocacy and tailored strategy.
