Firm Profile:
Herman, Howry & Breen, L.L.P. is a trial firm with a simple mission: To obtain successful results for clients in litigation and regulatory matters through vigorous and efficient action. We pursue this focused task for both individuals and businesses, plaintiffs and defendants. Our attorneys have handled and tried hundreds of cases ranging from commercial, insurance, consumer and intellectual property matters to cases involving torts, administrative law and oil & gas issues.

Our founding partners each learned their trial skills in both nationally-recognized and closely-held law firms.

Our attorneys apply their years of trial and business experience to respond quickly and aggressively on behalf of clients. Our size enables us to handle the prosecution or defense of trial matters impressively, but without massive teams of lawyers engaging in expensive or unproductive activities. By using state of the art computer technology and litigation support techniques, we help our clients achieve their objectives, often at a cost far lower than that of traditional full-service firms.
