For over twenty-five years, Trey Peacock has won cases based on science and data, successfully representing companies and individuals in complex business disputes. He has been lead or principal trial counsel for plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts in twenty states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington.
Clients seek out Trey for his unique comfort level with highly technical, data-driven matters, including damages. His successes span technical areas as varied as offshore rig construction (in an international arbitration); convoluted title histories for thousands of oil and gas leases (in an energy lawsuit in state court); the underpinnings of random number generation (in a series of patent cases); the sciences of toxicology, epidemiology, and environmental exposure (in state and federal toxic tort matters); and the use of environmental air modeling (in a variety of cases, including a plaintiffs’ class action for environmental property damage). Whether a favorable result depends upon the proper calculation of damages or the application of advanced scientific theories, Trey is a quick study and an effective advocate.
Trey’s peers have recognized him repeatedly as a one of the Best Lawyers in America and as a Texas Super Lawyer. In 2020 he was named a Winning Litigator by the National Law Journal and a Texas Trailblazer by Texas Lawyer. A native of Beaumont, Texas, he graduated with Honors from Princeton University and from University of Texas School of Law, where he was Managing Editor of the Texas Law Review, Order of the Coif, and a Chancellor. After law school, Trey clerked for the Honorable Joseph T. Sneed on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, California.
Trey has served on the Alley Theatre’s Board of Directors for over a decade. For ten years, he was also Team Captain for the Firm’s BP MS150 cycling team; under his leadership, the team raised more than $1 million to fight multiple sclerosis.
