Civil Litigation · Texas & Colorado
Calhoun Law Firm PLLC is a civil litigation firm specializing in consumer rights — representing homeowners, business owners, consumers, injured persons and area organizations throughout Texas and Colorado.
What We Do
Most people meet the civil justice system exactly once — after a storm, a collision, a denial, or a broken agreement. We built this firm so that the person on the other side of that letter has someone who reads it as carefully as the company that wrote it.
Areas of Practice
We keep a deliberately narrow practice. Every matter that comes through the door falls into work we have done many times before — which is why we can tell you early, and honestly, where you stand.
When a carrier undervalues the claim or denies it outright, we build the record — inspection, estimate, engineering, policy language — and hold the insurer to the contract it wrote.
You concentrate on getting better; we handle the adjusters, the medical records and the proof of fault — and we tell you what the case is realistically worth before anyone signs anything.
We read the plan documents rather than the denial letter, exhaust the appeals in the right order, and litigate when the stated reason doesn't survive scrutiny.
Owners rarely want a trial — they want the matter resolved without stalling the business. We plan for both, and we're candid about which one your file is heading toward.
A claim is only worth what someone is prepared to prove.
The Firm
Calhoun Law Firm PLLC is a small civil litigation practice by design. The attorney you meet is the attorney who works your file, argues your motions and answers the phone when you call — and both of us list our direct lines below, not an extension.

Common Questions
The questions we are asked most often, answered plainly — so you know what to expect before you call.
Sooner is better. Notice requirements, policy deadlines and statutes of limitation vary by claim type and by state, and physical evidence degrades quickly — roofs get repaired, vehicles get scrapped, memories fade. An early conversation costs nothing and keeps your options open.
Whatever you already have: the policy or contract, any denial or settlement letter, photographs, repair estimates, and a rough timeline of what happened and when. If you don't have the paperwork, call anyway — in most matters we can request it on your behalf.
Often, no. A denial is the carrier's position on your claim, not a final ruling on it — denials can frequently be appealed or challenged, and the stated reason does not always hold up once the policy language and the evidence are examined. What matters are the deadlines in your policy and under state law, which is precisely why the call is worth making now rather than later.
Yes. This is a two-attorney firm and both direct lines are published on this page. The attorney you speak with is the attorney who works your file — there is no intake department between you and your lawyer.
Yes. Calhoun Law Firm PLLC is licensed to practice in both Texas and Colorado, and represents homeowners, business owners, consumers, injured persons and area organizations in both states.
The initial case review is free. If we take the matter on, the fee arrangement is explained and agreed in writing before any work begins — you will not receive a surprise invoice from this firm.
