Some attorneys build their careers by avoiding the courtroom; I built mine by winning in it.
I am Jimmy Ardoin, the principal attorney and founder of Jimmy Ardoin & Associates, PLLC in Houston, Texas. I am a trial lawyer who handles high-stakes, complex litigation across three main arenas: plaintiff’s personal injury, commercial civil litigation, and white-collar criminal defense.
When clients come to me, they are usually facing the most critical juncture of their lives or businesses. My philosophy is simple: I treat every case as a battle that must be won. I approach the law with an aggressive, strategic, and unrelenting mindset, serving as an unyielding guardian of my clients' rights, assets, and freedom.
A Record of High-Stakes Victories
I do not back down from formidable opponents or complex disputes. My readiness to take a case all the way to a jury translates into real power at the negotiating table and massive victories in the courtroom. Recently, this aggressive trial strategy culminated in a $10 million verdict ($5 million in actual damages and $5 million in punitive damages) in a highly contested multimillion-dollar business dispute.
My Core Practice Areas
Commercial Litigation & Outside General Counsel: I represent businesses as both plaintiffs and defendants in complex commercial disputes. Beyond the courtroom, I frequently serve as outside general counsel for Texas businesses, providing the strategic foresight and aggressive protection needed to shield them from liability and foster growth.
Plaintiff's Personal Injury: When an individual suffers a catastrophic injury due to someone else's negligence, the playing field is rarely level. I bring the same heavyweight corporate litigation tactics to personal injury cases, fighting relentlessly to ensure insurance companies and massive corporations are held fully accountable.
White-Collar Criminal Defense: In the white-collar arena, your reputation and your freedom are simultaneously under attack. I provide a formidable, discreet, and highly tactical defense against complex federal and state allegations.
My Commitment to You
I understand that navigating the legal system is daunting, especially when everything is on the line. I pride myself on not just being a hired gun, but a strategic partner to my clients. You will get straight talk, clear strategies, and a legal advocate who will out-work and out-maneuver the opposition.
If you are facing a critical legal challenge in Texas, you need a proven fighter in your corner. Contact my office today, and let's get to work.
