Distinguished Lawyer

Personal Injury Law

4601 Washington Ave ste 200, Houston, TX 77007, USA

I am the founding attorney of Michelle Acosta Law Firm, PLLC, a Houston-based personal injury practice built on one simple promise: you will never be treated like just another case. Before launching my own firm, I served as General Counsel for a multi-state organization overseeing operations across roughly 1,800 employees. That experience gave me a front-row seat to how large corporations think, how they manage risk, and how they try to minimize liability. I use that knowledge now to hold those same kinds of organizations accountable when their negligence hurts people. Today, my practice is focused entirely on personal injury: motor vehicle accidents, commercial trucking collisions, premises liability, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. I prepare every case as if it is going to trial, because that level of preparation is what produces results, whether we resolve your case at the negotiating table or in front of a jury.
