Posted by Paige | March 25, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Honest, smart and HIGHLY effective

We retained Justin Strother to handle a complex dispute that we believed needed emergency relief from the Harris county courts. Having had the unfortunate personal experience of other prior litigation in both family and civil court elsewhere, I have painfully-acquired firsthand knowledge of how commo...n it is to receive absolutely poor legal representation. In fact, even in this particular case we initially hired a different attorney who, after literally cashing our sizable retainer, announced less than two weeks before the due date that he was not going to file the emergency relief we had hired him to file, and instead plan to spend the next couple of years or more litigating it. I was horrified, and panicked. Who would possibly help us at this late date? And not only step in, but not take advance of us financially for doing so? And then we were introduced to Justin Strother. I cannot even articulate just how excellent of an attorney Justin is. He is literally the best and most effective attorney I have ever worked with, VERY smart and VERY no-nonsense. and got right down to the crux of how to not only correctly take control of our case, but resolve our issues in a very calm and focused manner. He has an acute knowledge of the law and a very effective communication style which resulted in him immediately obtaining the requested emergency relief. AND, he got our case favorably resolved in only four months, versus the next several years in court, which in Harris County is no small feat. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Strother if you need a great Houston lawyer.

Talented, dependable - highly recommend

Our company has worked with Justin for the past couple of years on several case. He is very talented and dependable. Always responsive and we feel billed fairly.

Highly recommended

I was impressed at first by how well he listened and that I never had to repeat myself even though the situation I was in was complicated. He understood the intricacies of my contracting business and his advice was spot on. Also, he negotiated well with the other party.

I highly recommend Justin Strother.

I trust Justin Strother. He earned every bit of this rating and recommendation. Justin has a strong sense of honor which permeates his legal practice. I believe he is a rare and first class advisor, negotiator and litigator. He is intelligent, perceptive and very creative in his advocacy. Willin...g to tell clients the truth, not just what they want to hear. While he is a talented litigator, he often advises strongly to avoid litigation whenever reasonably possible. That being said, I nick-named him 'Gladiator' for his unyielding drive to victory in the courtroom. He makes no assumptions, he does his homework, and he enters the arena expertly prepared. Unlike the many lawyers I have known, he does not have a bloated sense of self, but he takes his work and his duty to his clients very seriously. The bottom line is that he will deliver whatever he promises. Justin is much more than a good lawyer; he is a good man, in a world that need more good men.

Experienced Litigation Attorney

Here is a very knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney that will provide advice and direction that is in the best interest of his clients. Working with Justin was a pleasure under the circumstances of our business litigation case. He knew when to be a bull dog and when to be a conservative moderat...or. From past experience Justin was very responsive and sensitive to the needs and wishes of his clients. He will offer several scenarios and options which allow the client to choose the path they want to pursue. He will also provide is thoughts and layout the advantages and disadvantages of each option he presents.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have litigated against Justin and found him to be a skilled adversary, as well as completely professional. He did a very good job of representing his client and a thorough one as well. I have referred cases to Justin when conflicted out--and he is one of the few lawyers I will refer my litigation cases to. Class act and I imagine, he has a great 'beside' manner the clients will appreciate."
