Ron is a thoughtful, tenacious, highly intelligent and formidable opponent. The cases he and I have had together have been difficult but rewarding. He recommend him highly.

Ron is among the most skilled advocates I have encountered. We worked on opposite sides of a complicated and long-running case. I know of few other lawyers who could have represented the clients interests the way Ron did, and fewer still who could have obtained the results he got for his clients. It was a difficult case, and as vigorous and contentious as it wasa factually and legally, Ron and I were always able to shake hands at the end of the day. I give Ron my highest recommendation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

When my opposing counsel became ill during a multi-million dollar commercial fraud trial, the judge suggested a mid-trial mediation with Ron Bankston. This was one of the most challenging mediations I've ever seen. The parties were bitter enemies who'd been at each other's throats in lawsuits dating back more than five years, and my client's family business was threatened with extinction in the current trial. Ron's work was, in a word, MASTERFUL. He displayed a broad and deep knowledge of substantive law, tempered with a keen appreciation of the realities of the courthouse. But he also diagnosed the parties' respective needs and acute sensitivities, and threaded a path toward reconciling those which quite literally brought the parties to a respectful handshake (and appropriate documentation) of a final settlement agreement that mooted the trial and all the years of previous litigation. Ron is as fine a mediator as I've seen in almost 30 years of active trial practice in Houston.

Ron Bankston is an extremely bright lawyer and an effective advocate for his clients. Two years ago I defended one of Houston's largest drilling companies in a case that Ron brought on behalf of one of his clients, a drilling pipe stabber trainee who had his fingers amputated working on an oil rig. Ron did an outstanding job of marshalling the evidence and presenting his client's case.
