Cotten Schmidt, L.L.P

Our approach to legal service:
Building relationships by putting our clients' needs first.

Initially, Cotten Schmidt, L.L.P. expanded into Louisiana at the end of 2009 when lawyers from the former Abbott Simses firm in New Orleans joined the Fort Worth group. In 2015, we were joined by lawyers from established firms in Corpus Christi and The Woodlands. The addition of each group of lawyers was a result of relationships we had already formed through years of collaboration with one another on large cases for common clients. We were drawn together not only by the successful results we had shared, but also the respect and appreciation we had for one another based upon quality of work, concern for the clients, and the spirit of welcoming cooperation and input from other talented minds.

Because we focus on developing a keen understanding of our clients' businesses, we are able to tailor a specific, individual case-handling strategy to include new ideas, technology, and creative approaches to billing and fee structures in keeping with each individual client's needs. We make what works for our clients work for us.
