I ENJOYED A CAREER AS A COMMERCIAL LITIGATOR FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS BEFORE FOCUSING ON THE INJURED.

I primarily represent plaintiff's in civil cases. The majority of the cases are personal injury, but I also represent parties in commercial litigation. I spent the first 15 years of my practice in larger law firms handling primarily commercial cases. The last 12 years of my practice have been withByrd Davis Furman & Alden, handling both personal injury and commercial cases. I have been listed in "Best Lawyers in America" for personal injury, business and "bet-the-company" litigation. I have also been listed by Texas Monthly as a "Super Lawyer" and have been AV rated by Martindale Hubbell since 1996.

Great Attorney

Mr. Alden showed me great respect and was very helpful in navigating my difficult case. Most importantly, he showed integrity for which I was most impressed. He's smart and kind and helpful. A brilliant attorney and all-around nice person.

Robby Alden was involved in a case involving my nephew. Although he represented another party in the case, I observed Robby's work in the process. Robby is one of the most tenacious trial lawyers in the state. His attention to detail is unsurpassed.

Professional AND Personable

I received a consultation with Mr. Alden regarding a family matter and he instantly put me at ease. He was articulate and knowledgeable in speaking to the intricacies of the situation, and more importantly, he was warm and considerate, and his compassion for my family was forefront in how he approached the matter. I felt an instant rapport with him and knew that, should I require representation, Mr. Alden and his team were the ones who could handle the case fairly, with integrity and forthright conviction. I highly recommend you call Byrd, Davis, Alden, & Henrichson for your legal needs.

Great lawyer- no joke!

I had received 2 medical device implants that were recalled and subsequently failed. From the moment I walked in the door to discuss a possible case I felt completely at ease with Mr. Alden and all of his associates. They were warm, but professional. If I had a question or concern they were quick to respond. My case was taken care of by Mr. Alden and his team with a more than fair result. I don't feel I was taken to the cleaner by my lawyer. Very much the opposite. A super nice guy and a very competent lawyer!

President/CEO

Mr. Alden was very sincere from the beginning. He was very poised, very articulate when working with the juror's. Never augmentative with the judge or any witnesses. Robert was just, very factual and to the point! Communication appeared to be a priority to him and helped coach me through the process that was ahead, and helped me to understand what to expect! He focused more on how to overcome the issues, rather then more on a "similar" past case. I am not one to list "all" excellent and I usual list a mix of poor, standard and/or good. But I cannot think of when I have ever listed all excellent rating!

Could not have asked for a better lawyer than Robby.

Robby represented my family in a lawsuit very recently that should never have been a lawsuit at all. Robby handled our case professionally, keeping us informed every step along the way. He is smart, personable and highly professional. He could not have been better prepared and our case ended in a "Plaintiff takes nothing" settlement. The entire process was terribly frightening for our family and Robby walked us through the process encouraging us every step of the way. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Robert C. Alden is a truly exceptional advocate and litigator.

Robby represented my family and its insurer in a potentially devastating lawsuit filed against us by a husband and wife who were both lawyers. Though we knew the plaintiffs' claims were false, it was still a very frightening experience. His representation resulted in a minimal nuisance settlement by our insurer and a full release of liability for my family. Robby prepared an incredibly thorough, detailed factual defense that succeeded in decimating each and every accusation alleged against us. We could not have asked for better representation. Robby is smart, hardworking and of exceptional integrity. We knew we were cared for with the strongest advocate fully on our side and willing to go the distance to achieve justice for us. I can't recommend Robby and his extraordinary skill set high enough.
