Our Team
Art Aguilar, Managing Partner
Art was initially trained by some of the best lawyers in Houston, with big name law firms. Partners who are board certified in civil trial law, and appellate law. In his roles as an associate and former in house attorney for a nationwide insurance company, he gained valuable and practical trial experience which is rare among the younger lawyers.
In his role as a trial lawyer, Art has taken and defended well over 100 depositions, tried several cases as first chair and second chair, and has learned tactics which will knock a witness back to his heels, and make them think twice about being untruthful under oath.
He has experience representing insurance carriers in catastrophic personal injury, and wrongful death cases. Similarly, Art has assisted in several insurance coverage disputes, ranging from minor car wrecks to million-dollar claims. Art has pre-trial and very real trial experience, all of which ranges from contested motion hearings, complex dispositive motion practice, taking and defending depositions, pre-trial proceedings, picking juries, presenting and cross-examining witnesses, and arguing the jury charge.
He has also assisted in trials involving a mixed bag of issues, including breach of contract, fraud, DTPA, personal injury claims, and trade secrets.
Art prides himself in representing the client, having an incorruptible sense of integrity, to both the Court and adversaries, and establishing a reputation for getting the case resolved, not dragging it out.
Zain Mohammad, Of Counsel
Dallas, TX - Zain completed his bachelor’s at the University of Texas at Dallas and received his law degree from the University of Houston with a passion in fighting for people’s rights. He holds service as one of his utmost values. Quality time and effort are poured into each of Zain’s cases while working closely with clients and communicating with them throughout the process.
A local, having grown up in Carrollton, Texas, Zain knows the ins and outs of the Texas legal system as well as the needs of local clients. When Zain is not serving clients and dishing out justice he enjoys hiking in the DFW metroplex as well as trying out the best restaurants it has to offer. Especially those serving tacos, sushi, or Indian food. He is also well read on issues concerning investment properties, real estate, stock markets, and cryptocurrencies.
Anytime you are involved in a wreck, you are entitled to some sort of compensation in Texas; from fixing a dent on your car to being paid for severe injuries. If it is not your fault, you may have no deductible to pay. Each accident and result is different and, as that being the case, Zain will tailor the best specialized care to your specific needs to get you what you deserve and are entitled to.
