I endorse this lawyer.Having a case against Frank Branson is like taking a drink out of a firehose. He’s one tough opponent.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Frank Branson is one of the most talented trial lawyers in Texas, indeed, probably one of the most talented trial lawyers in the United States. I defended a serious amputation case against Frank last year, and I found him to be a formidable opponent. This is a lawyer who is still very much at the top of his game--a master of the art of advocacy.
