Our Waco local counsel understand the judges and juries here in Waco, and they know us too. Dunnam & Dunnam has tried hundreds of cases in Waco courts for almost 100 years. Our law firm is a respected name. Dunnam & Dunnam is routinely selected as Waco’s best law firm by the citizens of our town in Wacoan Magazine. And that reputation is why clients choose us for some of the most high-profile Waco federal litigation—including matters involving intellectual property, the Branch Davidians, and the Baylor University scandal. When someone has a big case in Waco, they count on Dunnam & Dunnam.
Our Waco lawyers represented a multi-billion dollar client in an intellectual property bench trial before Judge Albright. It was his first bench trial as a Waco federal judge. Our client secured a multi-million dollar verdict and the other side got a take-nothing verdict on its counterclaims. Our client was overjoyed with the result.
No. Although Waco is quickly gaining a reputation for the rocket-docket in Texas, the similarities end there. Marshall Texas is almost 200 miles away. That is the distance from New York City to Washington, DC or Nashville to Atlanta. You would not hire a Nashville lawyer as local counsel in an Atlanta case. So you probably shouldn’t hire a Marshall lawyer as local counsel for a Waco case. Waco has its own quirks that are decidedly not East Texan. What works there does not work here. If you want the local insight, hire a local lawyer.
Dunnam & Dunnam has produced a Waco federal district court judge, a Texas Supreme Court Justice, two state district court judges, and three members of the Texas Legislature. We are in front of the Waco federal or state judges weekly. That high frequency of hearings and trials allows us to identify the different trends in our Waco courts. Our attorneys have gained local and national recognition for our consistent, high-quality counsel. We frequently work with attorneys from across the United States, providing guidance on Texas laws and court rules, helping prepare lead counsel to handle their cases effectively in McLennan County and the Waco Division of the Western District of Texas.
Our role as local counsel varies based on your needs. Sometimes, you may want us to play a minimal part, such as assisting you getting admitted pro hac vice and educating you on practice and procedure in Waco federal court. Dunnam & Dunnam can also do the heaving lifting—draft pleadings, argue motions, and take depositions. No matter what, we stay actively engaged in your case. Dunnam & Dunnam is ready to run to court on a moment’s notice. But the odds are that we are already there.
Our law firm looks like Waco. Waco local counsel who does not recognize all walks of life will not be useful in front of a Waco jury.

Waco is a town without pretense. Dunnam & Dunnam has been committed to the Waco community since 1925. We know what works here. And we know what will undermine your advocacy. Let us help you through it.
