Brian was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He was blessed to have two loving, amazing, and hard-working parents that provided excellent role models for him. Due to the values instilled by his parents, Brian has a strong desire to help those in need and to be a positive influence in the lives of others and in the community. It didn’t take long for Brian to realize that he wanted to be an attorney when he grew up. Brian has always had strong opinions and has never been afraid to speak his mind. Even as a child and teenager, Brian loved to argue in support of causes he cared about and was passionate in defense of people that were close to him. Brian’s father has joked with him countless times over the years that he would argue with a fence post. During high school, Brian joined the debate team and began to work towards his dream of becoming an attorney. During his junior and senior years of high school, Brian was selected to travel to Boston, Massachusetts to compete in debate competitions at Harvard University. Brian graduated with honors from Roosevelt High School in 1994. With the assistance of an academic scholarship, Brian attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he majored in management and received a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1998. While attending Baylor University, Brian met the love of his life, Kristine Wallace, in the fall of 1995. Brian and Kristine dated during the remainder of their college years and while Brian attended Baylor Law School. Brian knew he wanted to marry Kristine for quite some time, but he also wanted to complete his education and be sure that he could financially provide for Kristine and the children they hoped to have one day. As Kristine would say, Brian “finally” proposed in the summer of 1999. Brian graduated from Baylor Law School and received his Juris Doctor in February of 2001. After Brian was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in May of 2001, Brian and Kristine moved to San Antonio for Brian to begin his legal career. Brian began working as an associate attorney at Allen, Stein & Durbin, P.C. shortly after moving to San Antonio. Brian was fortunate to work for and learn from some excellent trial attorneys at this firm while he remained there until December of 2011.

Brian has over 17 years of civil litigation experience providing representation to individuals, businesses, and insurance companies throughout Central and South Texas.

Brian also represents telecommunications service providers against negligent excavators, contractors, subcontractors, builders, and other businesses that cause damage to underground and/or aerial telecommunications equipment. Brian is admitted to practice before all Texas state courts, as well as the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. Brian has successfully tried to verdict jury trials, involving a wide range of subject matter and alleged damages, in multiple venues throughout the State of Texas.

Brian strives to be a positive influence in the lives of his clients and further hopes that each client he serves will have a more positive view of the legal profession after his representation of them. When Brian is not working, he loves spending time with his beautiful wife, Kristine, and their 3 children. Brian and his family are avid fans of all Baylor sports and have been long-time season ticket holders for Baylor football and more recently men’s basketball.

Charles Ruhmann

Featured Lawyer

Personal Injury Law

5915 Silver Springs Dr., Bldg 1, El Paso, TX 79912

The Ruhmann Law Firm was opened with a single philosophy: People deserve a voice for justice. Too often, the plaintiffs’ voice is drowned out by insurance companies that can afford teams of defense lawyers, downplaying the severity of the injury, blaming the victim for shared responsibility and putting their own spin on the facts. Standing up for yourself in our adversarial system of civil litigation is nearly impossible without the strength and commitment of an experienced, knowledgeable trial lawyer.

When Clay was a young man, he spent a summer studying abroad in Alicante, Spain, where he fully immersed himself in Spanish culture.

Shortly after getting married, they moved to San Antonio, where Clay earned his Juris Doctor degree at St. Mary’s University. Whether meeting his wife across the ocean or becoming the first lawyer in his extended family, Clay has always taken the unconventional path. After becoming an attorney, Clay quickly realized that providing exceptional service to his clients involves more than simply a mastery of the law regarding the issues in their cases.

Dean Gresham

Personal Injury Law

6535 Churchill Way, Dallas, TX 75230

R. Dean Gresham is a founding partner of Trial Lawyers United and a veteran trial attorney with more than 25 years representing individuals in catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, and mass tort cases. His practice focuses on commercial trucking crashes, oilfield explosions, industrial accidents, defective products, toxic exposures, premises liability, and institutional negligence. Mr. Gresham began his legal career on the defense side, representing corporate defendants in personal injury litigation. After two years, a single case changed his professional trajectory. He was assigned to defend a fast-food restaurant in a premises liability case where a six-year-old child fell from a playground onto concrete covered by half an inch of astroturf. The company’s internal documents described the facility as a “death trap,” and despite knowing of the danger, the company did nothing to correct it. The experience revealed fundamental injustice in his role on the defense, and he moved to the plaintiff side—a decision that has defined his career ever since. Throughout his practice, Mr. Gresham has litigated complex cases involving catastrophic injuries and death. His results include leading families in the deadliest trucking manslaughter case in Texas history, where criminal charges resulted against the defendant company; forcing a natural gas utility to change consumer safety warnings nationwide through a class action against Atmos Energy; prompting safety reforms at a major Texas sporting venue following a motocross death case; and representing more than 200 homeowners in the LBJ Express highway construction defect litigation in Dallas. He has also handled 18-wheeler crashes, oilfield explosions, industrial accidents, and complex premises liability and institutional negligence cases nationwide.
