About Walter Law Firm, PC
Walter Law Firm, PC is a Houston litigation firm built for one thing: resolving the disputes that put a business’s money, contracts, property, and relationships at risk. We represent companies, business owners, and partners throughout Houston and Harris County — bringing claims for those who’ve been wronged and defending those who’ve been sued.
Our practice centers on business and commercial litigation. That includes breach-of-contract disputes, partnership and shareholder conflicts, business fraud and misrepresentation, Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) claims, breach of fiduciary duty, debt collection and judgment enforcement, and commercial real estate, title, and lease disputes. Many matters cross several of these at once — a broken contract that’s really a partnership falling apart, or a fraud claim tangled up in a real estate deal — and we handle them together rather than sending you to three different lawyers. You can see the full picture on our Houston business litigation page.
What sets the firm apart is how the work gets done. You deal directly with the attorney handling your case, not a rotating team of associates. That means faster answers, senior judgment on every decision, and litigation run efficiently instead of staffed to inflate a bill — the combination Houston’s small and mid-sized businesses need most.
Founding attorney Teri Walter has practiced law in Texas since 1988 and is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a credential earned through substantial courtroom experience and held by only a small percentage of Texas attorneys. That trial credibility is part of the leverage clients bring to the table, whether a case settles or goes the distance.
If you’re facing a business or commercial dispute, we’ll give you a straight read on where you stand and what it will take. Call Walter Law Firm, PC at (713) 529-2020 or contact us to schedule a consultation.
Civil trial law is one of the most difficult certifications to obtain because of the requirement for actual trial experience. To obtain certification as a board certified civil trial lawyer, the lawyer must have tried a minimum of 20 cases, no more than 1/3 of which can be personal injury cases, obtain recommendations from 10 other lawyers, and at least one judge, and pass a written exam covering a wide variety of types of cases.
A lawyer, who performs litigation yet has not tried a case in more than three years, is not a trial lawyer.
