Texas Born & Raised Lawyers

From  2010 to 2013, Jeff Anderson studied to become a trial lawyer at Texas  Tech University School of Law in Lubbock, Texas. During that time, he  trained to become a lawyer by learning from talented lawyers in Lubbock  and Amarillo:

• Lubbock  District Attorney’s Office where he worked with prosecutors writing  briefs for appeals to the Seventh District Court of Appeals;
• Jeff  then headed up to Amarillo where he worked with the lawyers at Sprouse  Shrader Smith on a variety of litigation and oil & gas matters in  the Texas Panhandle;
• and  then once again in Lubbock at Field, Manning, Stone, Aycock where he  worked with a civil litigation partner on cases throughout west Texas.

 Jeff then graduated summa cum laude  near the top of his class. Perhaps more importantly he developed many  lifelong friendships during this time at Texas Tech Law and you could  often find him and his law school friends hunting dove together up in  Muleshoe at a friend’s family farm or in small farming communities near  Lubbock where landowners would generously accept a case of beer and  allow the group of law students to take a break from the law library to  hunt Sandhill Crane and various waterfowl.

Jeff  went on to join AM Law 50 firm Holland & Knight’s litigation  section where he quickly rose to the rank of Partner in the giant law  firm with over 2,000 lawyers, more than 30 offices, and over a billion  dollars in annual revenue. At Holland & Knight, Jeff helped clients  from a variety of industries including Electric Cooperatives and Power  Companies; Oil & Gas Companies; Healthcare Insurers; Finance  Companies; and various others with cases that could range up to hundreds  of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars in dispute.

Recently,  Jeff decided it was time to get back to the basics of what is truly  important to him. He teamed up with his childhood friend and old Texas  A&M undergrad roommate, trial lawyer Maverick Ray. Together, they  now represent individuals and businesses who have been wronged and are  in need of help. Together, Jeff and Maverick are helping individuals,  farmers, ranchers and businesses throughout the Texas Panhandle who have  been harmed by the wildfires which appear to have been caused by XCEL  Energy Services, Southwestern Public Service Company, and Osmose Utility  Services, Inc. 

Trial  work is not only Jeff’s career but also his passion. He finds purpose  and meaning in helping people who are facing long odds in a fight  against giant companies and insurance companies that too often make  decisions based on how they will impact their bottom line rather than  finding a way to do the right thing for people who have been impacted by  their actions. By representing their clients on a contingency fee  basis, people who need help face no out of pocket cost to hire trial  lawyers to fight for them and only pay legal fees out of their damages  recovery following a trial verdict or settlement.

When  not at the courthouse, you can find Jeff at his beloved Yo-leven Ranch  with his wife, son, infant daughter and their livestock guardian dogs  Charlie and Millie. There he loves to join the ranch manager “Mr. David”  as he works the cattle, puts out hay bales and feed, and exercises the  children’s mini-horses. Jeff has learned first-hand how difficult life  can be for people in the agriculture industry. Between droughts, the  price of hay and diesel, and increasing insurance premiums, there is  always a challenge to face. But when someone’s negligence destroys  everything you have built, you need a team on your side to help you get  the compensation you need in order to fund the long process of  re-building.

While at South Texas, Maverick excelled academically, graduating number five in his class and finishing a semester early. Maverick has over 10 years of trial experience. As a defense attorney Maverick believes preparation and investigation are the keys to success. His clients rave about his involvement and communication in every case. Maverick is an unafraid, and aggressive trial attorney who is ready to fight for his clients. He does not believe in settling or backing down. He is tenacious and works hard to achieve the best outcome each and every time.
