About the Firm

A UNIQUELY STRATEGIC APPROACH

Hankinson LLP is an appellate law firm with a uniquely strategic approach to the practice of appellate law that spans all phases of litigation. Because most of our attorneys began their careers as trial lawyers, we are acutely aware of the ways in which decisions made during discovery and at trial impact an appeal. This is one of the reasons that we are recognized not only for our prowess in all aspects of the post-trial realm, but also as a strategic resource during the pretrial and trial phases of a lawsuit. Our command of appellate law and strategy is the culmination of years of courtroom experience, numerous appearances before federal and state appellate courts, and many close working relationships with clients and other lawyers.

Our attorneys offer a complementary array of backgrounds that provide deep value. Deborah Hankinson is well known as a former Texas Supreme Court Justice whose stature as a state and federal appeals attorney is augmented by her role as a

sought-after mediator and arbitrator. Two of our attorneys, Rick Thompson and Ryan Clinton, held key positions in the Solicitor General’s office of the Attorney General of Texas and have first-chair experience handling state and federal appeals. Brett Kutnick and Jennifer Stagen, who have extensive experience in all phases of business litigation, frequently assist clients in appeals relating to complex business disputes.

For us, the whole truly is greater than the sum of the parts.
