I cannot think of a better lawyer in the state of Texas. Working with Kirk Pittard on several different cases has been extremely helpful. Kirk’s ability to help analyze the case and do the work is difficult to come by. He shows up when you need him. Kirk has been very involved in two of my big cases and I really appreciate his involvement.

I often retain the attorneys at Durham, Pittard & Spalding for specific research and briefing projects and for co-counsel arrangements on complex personal injury cases.  They bring an insight to the case with an eye towards a potential appeal that ultimately adds value to the case by positioning the case for an appeal or by avoiding an appeal altogether.  I definitely would recommend them to other trial attorneys for litigation support at the trial level as well as for handling cases on appeal.

I have worked with Kirk Pittard and Leighton Durham on several cases and can say with confidence that their big picture analysis, research, and briefing skills added value to the cases.  I believe having able appellate counsel assisting with the legal issues that come up in a case is invaluable.  Kirk and Leighton fit the bill.
