Abstract: Abstract What do you do if, as a junior associate in a large and respected Houston law firm, you find yourself entrusted with a high level of responsibility in a huge industrial litigation, and you know that you won’t see that level of responsibility again for years? If you are a trial lawyer at heart, you take a loan from the bank and a deep breath, hang out your own shingle, and begin hustling for clients. And, if you are Arthur S. Feldman, you win an eleven-to-one verdict of gross negligence in your first trial as a solo practitioner and go on to build a successful practice representing clients ranging from individual plaintiffs to Fortune 500 companies in civil cases as diverse as personal injury, medical malpractice, discrimination, breach of contract, and copyright infringement. And you take pride in the fact that, while you set out to make money as a lawyer, you have also managed to do a lot of good for folks along the way.
