About Herrick
Biography
Herrick represents clients in a full range of matters, including Personal Injury, Civil Litigation, and Business and Personal matters, such as contracts, disputes, international and cross-border matters, and general legal advice. He has many years of experience handling difficult and complex issues in many different areas of the law, which proves to be one of his best assets as your attorney whether your case is intended for trial or will be settled during depositions or mediation. With years of experience in personal injury and civil litigation, Herrick handles all types of litigation matters from simple car wreck cases to complex business disputes. Herrick regularly advises clients on sensitive business issues including business formation, contract drafting and review, and human resource matters. Herrick also advises domestic and international clients on a vast array of issues, including business and personal matters.
Herrick began his legal career working for a nationally recognized boutique litigation firm in Houston, Texas, where he handled some of the most complicated personal injury cases and handled mass tort dockets, including Vioxx litigation and breast implant cases. With his deep experience handling virtually every type of plaintiffs’ case, he is able to quickly assess the potential merits of a diverse range of cases and success of winning at trial. Herrick is routinely recognized by clients and attorneys for his ability to prepare cases for trial, yet use his economics background to create innovative settlement solutions for his clients to achieve the best result with the least risk. This is one of the reasons why former clients and fellow attorneys often refer cases and matters to him.
Herrick also serves as liaison or outside general counsel for several businesses in Houston. In this role, Herrick advises clients on business formation, long-term planning, employee relations, collections, agency inquiries, and liability issues. Herrick also leverages his deep experience as a plaintiffs’ lawyer to assist clients with responding to helpline issues ranging from human resource issues to fraud. He teams up with additional consultants and other lawyers in specialized fields to ensure the client’s needs are addressed on all fronts. Herrick also prosecutes or defends cases on their behalf.
Herrick was born and raised in Houston, Texas. He has a French background and has dual citizenship, United States and French, which has proven helpful in international business matters, and is currently on the Consulate General of France in Houston recommended attorney list. He is also active in both the French-American Chamber of Commerce of Houston and Italy-America Chamber of Commerce of Texas.
