I represent injured clients to obtain fair compensation for them. I never represent insurance companies. I assisted in passing HB 1869, known as Ch. 140A Civil Practice and Remedies Code, to reform insurance subrogation laws in Texas. This law guarantees that injured personscan keep a fair share of their recovery instead of allowing insurance companies to take it all through one-sided contracts written by the insurance companies.

Best Lawyer EVER!
Judy is the smartest. hardest working attorney you could ever hope to find. She's like the Tin man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion all wrapped into one package -- she's got heart, she's got brains, and she's got courage to fight for what's right.
"Judy Kostura is the premier authority on liens and subrogation issues that are prevalent in bodily injury claims. I have called on Judy numerous times for help in navigating this ever-evolving area of law. From every encounter with Judy, I come away a better lawyer."
"Judy knows more about health care subrogation law, medicare/medicare subrogation law, and third party personal injury liens than any lawyer I know. If she knows the answer, she'll share it. If she doesn't know it, she'll find it for you. In either event, you can take her opinion to the bank. She's also a very nice person, and that counts for a lot."
"I endorse this lawyer. Judy Kostura is one of the most intelligent and hard working attorneys with whom I have ever worked. She has the heart of a lion and obtains incredible results for her clients. Judy is one of those lawyers who teaches the other lawyers. She is one of the most sought after speakers at seminars across the state of Texas, because of her keen analysis and knowledge of the law. Judy combines a keen intellect with practical experience to get her clients outstanding results. Judy's character and wisdom provide clients with wise counsel and care which makes working with her very special. When I have a particularly complex case, I call Judy for her advice and counsel. Judy is an excellent lawyer and her skills are only exceeded by her love of her clients and their well being."
"There is no lawyer more intelligent than Judy Kostura. She will win before the other side even understands the issues. Brilliant. Kind. Caring and just one of the best lawyers you could ever hope to have on your case. If you don't hire her, you are wrong. I'm not kidding. She's amazing."
"I endorse this lawyer. Judy is one of the finest attorneys in Texas. Lawyers around the state look to her for guidance and counsel. Most importantly, Judy CARES about her clients and fights for them fiercely."
"Judy Kostura is lethal combination of legal brilliance and client advocacy. There are questions that I face on a regular basis in my practice the answers to which only Judy holds. So I call her, and she answers. She is one of most generous and community-minded lawyers I know. When a client chooses Judy, they choose wisely."
"I endorse this lawyer. Judy is the absolute authority on subrogation. She wrote the book. No one knows more. She is also an excellent trial lawyer, and a generous supporter of the community."
