LAUREN BRADDY |  Attorney

Lauren began her legal career defending some of the nation’s largest companies from claims ranging from personal injury to complex business disputes. Upon her return from life abroad in Turkey, Lauren left the private sector to work as an appellate staff attorney for one of the justices of Texas’ Thirteenth Court of Appeals. However, for most of the past decade Lauren has represented employees in complex collective and class actions in federal courts across the United States. 


She is a zealous advocate for her clients and has extensive experience in all pre-trial matters through trial on the merits. Lauren also maintains an appellate docket and is admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Fourth, Fifth, and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeals.

STEPHEN BECHTOL |  Attorney

Born and raised in the Coastal Bend, I am a fifth-generation Rockport native dedicated to fighting for injury victims across Texas and the entire country. With over 13 years of experience, I have secured tens of millions of dollars for clients in trucking accidents, workplace injuries, wrongful death claims, and more. I take pride in holding negligent parties accountable and advocating for justice.


When I’m not in the courtroom, I’m spending time with my wife and daughter or fishing the Texas coast—where my roots run deep.
