clients. We believe in and respect our justice system. We believe in
juries. We are proud of the wide range of cases in which we have been
involved. The
Buzbee Law Firm is routinely involved in high stakes
litigation. We like contingency fee arrangements, because such an
arrangement incentivizes us by allowing our firm to participate in the
success we obtain. In those rare cases when we work at an hourly rate,
we charge more than the run-of-the-mill firm. We believe we are worth it
and our experience demonstrates that our clients believe it, too.
The Buzbee Law Firm is routinely
called upon to serve in leadership positions in high profile litigation.
We relish these opportunities, because we believe that our clients
benefit from it. We are currently involved in litigation involving
various drugs, the NFL Concussion Litigation, the BP Benzene Litigation
(Liaison Counsel), the Deepwater Horizon Explosion Litigation, the Port
Arthur Oil Spill Litigation, the FEMA Toxic Tort Trailer Litigation
(Steering Committee), the Reno Air Crash Litigation, and others. We
welcome opportunities to partner with ethical lawyers with good cases
who need our expertise, resources, and capital to bring high dollar
litigation to fruition.
