OVERVIEW
Dennis J. Drouillard is a lawyer whose mission is to resolve civil disputes by zealously advocating for and representing his clients in all phases of pre-litigation, litigation and appeals—from start to finish.
Start-to-finish representation includes conducting jury and bench trials; however, it is much more than just receiving verdicts and doing trial work. It includes representing clients in conducting pre-litigation investigations, preparing or defending against demands before the existence of a lawsuit, or conducting mediation in an effort to resolve a dispute. It also includes administrative hearings before the Texas Medical Board, the Appraisal Review Board (ARB), the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH), or other types of administrative bodies (such as a local Planning and Zoning Commission or a local Board of Adjustment).
In start-to-finish representation, Dennis represents clients in the trial courts of Texas, a federal district court and, if necessary, before the Texas intermediate appellate courts or the Texas Supreme Court.
Listening to clients and shaping a strategy to achieve a client's goal is key to helping a client through a legal problem. Dennis listens to his clients and helps shapes their strategies. Sometimes, a client needs a legal business strategy to deal with personnel issues, business contracts, complex or apex discovery, board of directors' issues, or settlement negotiations. Dennis helps in all of these areas.
Dennis has represented people from diverse walks of life, including: politicians, police officers, medical doctors, nurses, lawyers, stay-at-home moms, working dads, women in the workplace, college students, military personnel, landlords, tenants, and injured people. He also has represented the City of San Antonio, the Bexar Appraisal District, appraisal districts in Central Texas and south of San Antonio, non-profit organizations, small businesses, corporations, and joint enterprises.
During each phase of representation, Dennis analyzes the most economical and efficient means of achieving the objective in consultation with the client.
