About Jeffry
Biography
I am a trial attorney practicing in Houston and throughout Texas. I began practing law in the Harris County District Attorneys' Office where I tried hundreds of cases over a four (4) year period. I am A-V rated by the Martindale Hubbel legal directory, which is the highest rating available. My practice is exclusively focused on civil and criminal litigation in both State and Federal Courts and that is all I do.
My focus on litigation is to be results oriented and cost effective. I speak in plain English, not legal jargon.

Excellent Counsel
Mr. O'Dea is by far the most talented and dependable lawyers I have met. I have sought his counsel and representation on more than one occasion and he has provided outstanding advice and obtained excellent results. Whatever your legal needs, he is the best choice.

Products Liability Litigiation
Jeff and I tried a products liability case in federal court a few years ago. And despite my assistance, Jeff was able to bring in a defense verdict for the product manufacturer. The jury was out about 30 minutes.
