Richard L. Coffman

Richard Coffman, The Coffman Law Firm, Beaumont, Texas

After practicing several years as a CPA with two international accounting firms, I received my law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I began my legal career in Houston with a large Texas law firm where I represented plaintiffs and defendants in commercial litigation. Since that time, my law practice has focused on business cases, antitrust cases, consumer cases, complex commercial litigation, and class actions–principally on behalf of plaintiffs.

With over thirty years of commercial litigation experience, I understand and appreciate business issues, accounting and finance, damages issues and, most important, that the “litigation tail should not wag the business dog.”

From my home base in Houston, Texas, I represent individuals and businesses – both plaintiffs and defendants – across Texas and throughout the United States. I am AV peer review rated, the highest rating possible, by the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, rated Superb by Avvo, and designated a Texas Super Lawyer (2015-2022).
