Description

As a successful trial attorney for over thirty-one years, Carolyn St. Clair, RN, BSN JD, combines legal expertise with her medical background to represent clients injured or killed by medical products, dangerous drugs or the negligence of others. After working with heart surgeons, Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. Denton Cooley, St. Clair began her law career as a Supreme Court of Texas briefing attorney with Justice C. L. Ray. Working on personal injury, medical device and toxic exposure cases with iconic legal legends, John O’Quinn, Joe Jamail and Jim Kronzer, she amassed a wealth of knowledge in courtroom skills and trial strategies. St. Clair has enhanced her career with negotiation, mediation, and arbitration education at the Harvard Law School Negotiation Institute.

St. Clair’s combination of medical, legal and judicial briefing experience enables her to quickly analyze case facts and health issues to maximize client’s awards. We begin to prosecute cases upon receipt of the client’s contract, in complete contrast to advertsing firms that gather and warehouse files for years. Readily available for free consultations, the office also releases a monthly enewsletter and quarterly reports of the status of the litigation in trial or settlement.
