Jeff Chandler
Founding Attorney
Bio
Mr. Chandler is an accomplished litigation attorney with over 20 years of experience including first chair experience in numerous trials.
Jeff grew up in San Angelo, Texas and began his legal career as a felony prosecutor with the Tom Green County District Attorney’s Office. Shortly thereafter, he joined Jackson Walker, LLP and handled primarily insurance defense cases, before opening his own law firm. In 2014, he also had the opportunity to work with one of the Nation’s top personal injury law firm, Thomas J. Henry, in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Having practiced law on both sides of the docket, Mr. Chandler has a unique perspective on how to effectively litigate in both civil and criminal matters. And whether advocating before a judge, trying a case to a jury, negotiating with opposing council or drafting legal memoranda, Mr. Chandler’s diligence and determination ensure that clients receive the representation they deserve.
