Bob Ramey and Brian Chandler established Ramey & Chandler, P.C. in 1998. Over the last three decades, the firm’s core mandate of counseling clients and preparing a vigorous defense has never wavered. In 2024, Jill Schein became a named partner, a tribute to both her tenure at the firm and exceptional representation of clients.
At Ramey Chandler Schein, our experience makes the difference. We are better able to counsel clients when litigation is anticipated or initiated, because we have seen it all. From catastrophic injuries to the most minor of fender benders, our attorneys have handled cases across the spectrum and across the great State of Texas. We are trial lawyers. We have tried hundreds of cases to a verdict, which sets us apart from many other lawyers. It is this experience that allows us to provide clients with a clear-eyed understanding of the risk posed by a case, so the client can make an informed decision on how to proceed.
We are a service-oriented and results-driven law firm. We strive to work with our clients and carriers to develop insight, methods, and strategies to resolve matters as swiftly and economically as possible. We know trial is not always the first choice, but, when trial becomes the only choice, our clients know they are being represented by experienced, dedicated lawyers who get results. It is because of this that we have maintained client relationships for decades.
The hub of our practice is in Houston, but we have cases pending in every quadrant of the state. We focus primarily on insurance defense with an emphasis on transportation litigation, products liability, premises liability, commercial litigation, first party bad faith litigation, as well as intricate insurance coverage opinions and appeals.
The last quarter century has passed by quickly, but, during those years, we have been privileged to serve and defend residents of Houston, neighboring counties and others across the State of Texas. We look forward to doing so long into the future.
