John M. McDermott

If you want a meek and mild attorney with a stuffy attitude, I'm not your guy. I come from hard working parents who set high standards for me. No excuses. Just because we're working class doesn't mean we don't expect you to go to college and then maybe medical school or law school. Just because you're the littlest kid in school doesn't mean you don't have to fight the bully back. And so it has been. I went to college and into the Marine Corps as my mother and father expected me to. Ever since, I have been, sort of feisty. That is how  I handle the courtroom. I am not mean or cruel to other attorneys or their clients, but, I never let them walk over me or my client. I opened my practice in 1992 after working in the oil and gas field with my wife (pictured) as my secretary. I wasn't born in Texas, but I have lived here 40+ years, and raised three little native Texans. I would like to get to know you.
