About Paul
Biography
I've been helping the victims of auto collisions, dog attacks, 18 wheeler accidents, work accidents where there is no workers compensation and slip-and-fall negligence in Houston since I first obtained my law license in 1995. I am certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Personal Injury Trial Law and personal injury is all our law firm does. If you have been hurt and need an experienced advocate fighting in your corner, please give me a call. I was recognized as a Texas Super Lawyer by Thompson-Reuters 2017-2024, and a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers Association 2017-2024.
I was born here in Houston back in 1970. My wife and I have two awesome kids and we spend most of our free time on the soccer fields and on the sidelines coaching and cheering them on.

Wonderful Attorney
Paul Cannon is an excellent attorney and wonderful person! He handled a case for my 2 year old's burn injury incurred at a childcare facility. He was very thorough and creative in exploring solutions. His ability to think "out of the box" is very valuable. He does not give up easily either. ...
