Biography

Bryan Rutherford is an experienced litigator who is in his element in a courtroom, whether standing before a jury at the trial level or in front of a panel of justices in appellate court. Representing clients in state and federal courts across Texas, Bryan’s practice is focused on matters arising from commercial disputes, first-party insurance litigation, construction litigation, oil and gas litigation, and nursing home litigation.

A talented and compelling writer, Bryan has briefed appeals on a wide variety of issues to the Texas Supreme Court, the intermediate Texas appellate courts, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Bryan also aids other litigators in drafting jury charges, substantive trial briefing, and preserving appellate error.

In addition to his vast civil litigation experience, Bryan served as a Dallas County Assistant District Attorney where he was lead counsel in over seventy-five criminal appeals and regularly represented the State of Texas in oral argument before the Dallas Court of Appeals. Additionally, Bryan responded to requests for post-conviction DNA testing in noncapital cases, appearing as first chair prosecutor in Dallas County’s felony courts.

Bryan has been honored on multiple occasions with inclusion on the Texas Rising Star and Texas Super Lawyers lists. He is active in his profession and his community, and has the distinction of being an Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America.

Bryan is a graduate of Southern Methodist University and went on to earn his law degree from South Texas College of Law. He is admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in Texas as well as the U.S. Supreme Court.
