I have been practicing law since 1981, having started at Vinson & Elkins right out of law school at the University of Texas. I am a very active trial lawyer, having tried over 350 cases to jury verdict, a number that real trial lawyers would recognize as meaningful. I'm married to Colleen Cullen Akers, the daughter of a legendary trial lawyer, Dick Cullen. I have three wonderful children, one of whom is a criminal defense lawyer who is already becoming well regarded among his peers. We spend a great deal of our spare time with church and charitable activities through various groups, but mostly through the Order of Malta, a holy order of the Catholic Church in which I am a Knight.

I have worked with Brock on two different cases and can state that he is an excellent attorney and a fine person as well. I saw him adhere to the highest standard of practice while also maintaining his human touch throughout. I cannot recommend him more highly than this.

Brock was simply my only hope to defend my myself and my family from what would have been complete dest...

My husband and I hired Brock to handle a legal matter that turned out to be a very long and grueling ordeal. Even though things didn't work out as we had hoped, he never gave up.... supporting and literally holding our hands through it all. He is hard working, honest, fair and so kind. We would r...

I hired Brock to handle a legal matter very important to me. He was hard working, honest, and fair. Opposing counsel respected him, which made the total cost of hiring him much less than it would have been had there been unnecessary controversy. Brock is a very effective lawyer.

I highly recommend the Akers Firm for expert, competent, legal representation. Brock Akers, himself, is a man of impeccable integrity and honesty who has exemplary moral values - a man for all seasons who warrants implicit trust. He is an intelligent, expert litigator who has represented me in seve...
"I have had several cases against Brock over the years and have found him to be a formidable opponent and a zealous advocate for his clients."
"I worked with Brock for seven years and tried a number of cases with him. He is highly ethical, industrious and a very talented lawyer. Any client would be well-served by hiring Brock or his firm. I endorse this lawyer's work without reservation."
