McDowell Hetherington LLP

McDowell Hetherington was founded in 2009 by Andrew M. Edison, David T. McDowell, and Thomas F. A. Hetherington, three highly regarded Texas trial attorneys. For many law firms, the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent economic downturn made 2009 a difficult year. McDowell Hetherington, however, embraced the changing dynamics of the legal market, focused on providing exceptional representation to their clients, and thrived as a result.

Litigation is McDowell Hetherington's specialty. While other firms have reached their size by offering various services, they have reached it by doing one thing well: civil litigation.

Their attorneys have served as lead counsel in complex actions across the country in state and federal trial courts, arbitrations, and appeals. They have extensive experience in commercial litigation, class action litigation, RICO, antitrust actions, consumer protection, product liability, and high stakes arbitrations. Their expertise allows clients to turn to them with cases in various stages of litigation and in any jurisdiction, especially when a more seasoned hand is needed on a suddenly risky, high-profile matter.

McDowell Hetherington has represented clients in matters pending in virtually every state in the country. Their business model is built to solve problems for their clients coast-to-coast by ensuring a geographically broad base of legal experience. With offices in three time zones, they staff cases efficiently and strategically – balancing their attorney experience and venue specific knowledge. Their clients appreciate that they can hire MH to represent them in nearly any venue in the country.

They are aggressive, honest, and effective advocates for their clients. MH attorneys put their principles into practice by involving their clients in every step of the litigation process, from the development of litigation-prevention strategies, early case assessments and budgets, effective and careful discovery, mediation, trials, and appeals. MH takes pride in working with its clients, who are themselves accomplished lawyers and businesses.
