Practice Areas

One of the most comforting feelings in the world is to walk out of a doctor's office or barber shop feeling like you have been taken care of by people who know what they're doing and who really want to help. One of the worst feelings in the world is to find yourself sitting in the back of a New York City cab, hearing the taxi meter repeatedly and frequently clicking away your money whether you are standing still, moving forward, making progress, or going nowhere.

Unfortunately, many more people view attorneys like the aforementioned cab ride than they do an afternoon at the barber shop. At other law firms, you might hire a well-recognized partner, only to have a junior partner, two associates, a summer associate, and two legal assistants attending every hearing, billing away whether your case is standing still, moving forward, making progress, or going nowhere. At the Law Offices of Scott Rothenberg, if you hire Scott Rothenberg, you get Scott Rothenberg. Scott takes care of your legal matters with the help of his longtime legal assistant Valerie. In addition to being one of the most pleasant people you would ever want to deal with, Valerie received her Bachelor of Science degree summa cum laude and earned a Master of Science Degree in Criminal Justice.

At many of the big law firms downtown, you are greeted by luxurious marble flooring, imported Brazilian wood paneling, and ornate brass banisters and fixtures. Unfortunately, it is the client--through inflated hourly rates--who ultimately pays for those luxuries. By opening a modestly-furnished, but comfortable and conveniently-located law office, Scott can afford to charge less than the big firm palaces downtown, yet provide the same level of thoughtful and conscientious care as do the big firms.

Do not mistake the modest surroundings of the Law Offices of Scott Rothenberg for anything other than the state-of-the-art law office that it is. Scott has full access to all state and federal cases, statutes, rules, regulations, law review articles, continuing legal education articles, and practice manuals over high-speed internet connections. Scott has full access to the clerk records of the Harris County District Clerk, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Supreme Court, and many other courts, through various online services. Scott has access to every Continuing Legal Education paper written for basic and advanced seminars produced by the State Bar of Texas over the past several years.

Several times a year, Scott is asked to speak at advanced civil trial and advanced appellate continuing legal education seminars on various issues of trial and appellate tactics, ethics, and cutting-edge legal issues. Often, Scott is among the very highest rated authors and speakers at these seminars.

Scott has taken many trial and appellate matters from start to finish for both plaintiffs and defendants (but not for both in the same case!). Among the matters that Scott handles most often are trial court and appellate commercial litigation, personal injury, collection matters, breach of contract, fraud, deceptive trade practices, class action litigation, defamation, insurance litigation, and family law matters. If you or your company have a legal problem that Scott does not handle, Scott has an extensive list of specialists in areas such as taxation, criminal, admiralty, and others to whom he can refer you with confidence.

The bottom line is that Scott Rothenberg has tried to create a comfortable, conveniently-located office where individuals and businesses alike can have their trial court and appellate legal matters handled in a confidential, competent, thorough, and cost-efficient manner. Our goal at the Law Offices of Scott Rothenberg is for you, our client, to feel that we care about your legal matter and are doing everything we can to resolve it in a cost-efficient manner for you or your company.
