At The Juris Firm, we have one mission: fighting for the rights of injury victims across Texas. When insurance companies and corporations try to minimize your suffering or deny you fair compensation, we stand in your corner with the resources, experience, and determination to get you what you deserve.

Founded in Austin by attorneys who witnessed firsthand how insurance companies take advantage of unrepresented injury victims, our firm was built on the belief that everyone deserves access to high-quality legal representation—regardless of their financial situation. That's why we work on contingency: you pay nothing unless we win your case.

Our Story

Why We Do What We Do

Every day, we see how a single accident can devastate a family—mounting medical bills, lost income, physical pain, and emotional trauma. We've helped thousands of Texans navigate these challenges, and each case reinforces our commitment to this work.

Personal injury law isn't just our profession—it's our calling. We've seen clients who were told their cases were worthless walk away with life-changing compensation. We've watched families find closure after wrongful death through accountability and justice. These moments remind us why we chose this path.

Founding of The Juris Firm

The Juris Firm was established in 2010 with a simple premise: provide the same caliber of legal representation that corporations have to regular people injured by negligence. After years of watching insurance companies delay, deny, and underpay legitimate claims, our founding attorneys decided to build a firm dedicated exclusively to fighting for injury victims.

Since then, we've grown from a small practice into one of Austin's most respected personal injury firms. Our growth has never changed our core values: personal attention, aggressive advocacy, and an unwavering commitment to our clients' best interests.
