Varghese Summersett 5 Star Review: "I had an excellent experience with Varghese Summersett and truly can’t thank their team enough for the care and professionalism they showed throughout my case. I was involved in a car accident where I was rear-ended by an Amazon driver who was uninsured and driving a pickup truck. It was a very stressful and painful time, as I suffered a serious shoulder injury and a severe concussion, and required physical therapy for an entire year.

From the very beginning, the entire staff made me feel supported and taken care of. I never had to worry about how my medical treatment would be handled—they made sure I received the care I needed every step of the way.

Attorney Ty Stimpson was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and persistent. He truly went above and beyond, even working to track down a driver who had provided false information. His dedication gave me a lot of peace of mind during a very difficult time. He is a true leader and the epitome of dedication and integrity!

Natasha Walkup and Rebecca Cardona were also amazing—both extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient. They kept everything organized and made sure I was always informed about what was happening with my case.

Overall, the team at Varghese Summersett made a very challenging situation much more manageable. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation. They truly care about their clients and it shows."

Not Guilty! After just 20 minutes of deliberation, a Tarrant County jury acquitted our client today of assault family violence - impeding breath, a third degree felony that carries a punishment of up to 10 years in prison. Congrats to the amazing legal team of Tiffany Burks and Christy Jack, who fought for our client.

"Let me tell you what justice looks like," Attorney Tiffany Burks told the jury in her closing argument. "It's not giving people what they want — it's giving people what is right."

If you slip and fall in a Texas grocery store, gas station, or restaurant, can you sue? The answer just got more complicated. On April 10, 2026, the Texas Supreme Court handed down H-E-B, LP v. Peterson — a unanimous opinion that makes it harder than ever to win a slip-and-fall case in Texas.

Varghese Summersett 5 Star Review: "I had a great experience working with Hailey and Amanda throughout my family law case. They were both very pleasant, approachable, and easy to work with during a process that could have felt overwhelming. Hailey did a wonderful job explaining things clearly, answering my questions, and helping me understand each step along the way. I truly felt like she was looking out for what was best for me and helped make the entire process feel easier and less stressful. I’m very thankful for their guidance and support. I would definitely recommend this firm and would use them again if I ever needed to, although hopefully I won’t have to!"

A major Supreme Court ruling just changed the future of truck accident cases.
In Montgomery v. Caribe Transport, the Court ruled that freight brokers can now be held accountable for hiring unsafe trucking companies — potentially opening the door to greater compensation for crash victims and more accountability across the trucking industry.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a commercial truck crash, this decision could have a major impact on your case.
