Allen Hemphill is a no-nonsense attorney who finds every
case satisfying because he believes he can always help
his client realize a better result. His goal is to obtain
a summary decision; however, when that is unavailable
he attempts to negotiate the best disposition possible
for his client.
One particular case illustrates what is satisfying about
law for Mr. Hemphill. It was a wrongful death case with
several national corporations as fellow defendants pointing
fingers at his client, a smaller company. He was able
to poke holes in the theories advanced by the larger
defendants and received a good result for his client.
Mr. Hemphill earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor
of Science from Trinity University in 1991, magna cum
laude. He earned a Master of Business Administration
from the University of Texas at Austin in 1993 and his
Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Texas
School of Law in 1996.
He came to the law because he enjoys the combination
of scholarship and an adversarial aspect. He has an MBA
and originally worked as a general counsel along with
handling more traditional business activities for the
same company. After deciding to concentrate on the legal
profession fulltime, he developed an approach to the
law that allows him to get the best possible result for
his client.
