Biography
Justin L. Williams has been recognized as a Distinguished Professional.
Justin L. Williams is a preeminent plaintiff's personal injury attorney based in Corpus Christi, Texas. Board-certified in civil trial law, Mr. Williams is a co-founder and shareholder of Williams Attorneys PLLC where he concentrates his practice on multi-million-dollar oilfield injury cases. For his industry-leading representation and history of success over his more than thirty-year career, he has been selected to the Super Lawyers list, recognized among America's Top 100 High Stakes Litigators, and featured on PBS's NewsHour and NPR's All Things Considered, among many other prestigious accolades.
A 1983 graduate of the University of Houston Law Center, Mr. Williams decided to become an attorney as a way to defend the right to trial by jury. As he tells it:
I believe in the Constitution. In most countries around the world, a person has no ability to fight the government or powerful institutions. But in the U.S., because of our Constitution, we have the right to level the playing field as long as lawyers with talent are willing to fight for those rights.
Before he began focusing exclusively on plaintiff's litigation, Mr. Williams practiced as a defense lawyer, representing many of the major oilfield companies across America, including ExxonMobil, Shell, and Texaco. He has also been involved in cases originating in the North Sea, off the coast of Scotland, and in Switzerland, to name a few
