Jeffrey Holmes Richter

Jeffrey H. Richter is a nationally recognized trial lawyer representing individuals and families in catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and other complex, high stakes cases. Over the course of his career, Jeff has recovered more than $250 million for his clients, including numerous eight-figure settlements and verdicts.
Jeff focuses his practice on cases involving commercial trucking collisions, unsafe business practices, traumatic brain injuries, workplace fatalities, nursing home abuse, corporate misconduct, and preventable deaths.
He is particularly experienced in cases where the obvious defendant or available insurance policy does not come close to accounting for the full extent of a family’s loss. Rather than allowing the investigation to stop with the most immediate party, Jeff examines the relationships, contracts, business practices, insurance coverage, and corporate decision-making behind the event to identify every potentially responsible party and every available source of recovery.
His approach combines detailed investigation, creative legal strategy, and relentless trial preparation. Jeff prepares complex cases from the beginning with the expectation that they may ultimately need to be presented to a jury.
Jeff maintains a nationwide practice and has represented clients in Texas, Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Kansas, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Louisiana.
He is licensed to practice in Texas and admitted before all four United States District Courts in Texas, the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
