A Forward Looking Firm
with a Legacy of Service

The CJMH Advantage

Our comparative advantage comes from embracing the old-school professional ethics of diligent service, a culture of professional excellence and skill development, and putting our clients needs above our own.  We still see the practice of law as a profession, not just a business. We pride ourselves on providing value by resolving legal issues expeditiously, mitigating legal and reputational risks, and helping clients avoid protracted litigation through prudent decision-making and by acting rapidly to seize opportunities as they arise.

We have developed the critical skills, responsiveness, and know-how that matters most to our clients, along with the bench depth to effectively handle sophisticated deals and complex litigation, even on tight timelines. 

We aren’t just here to give you advice or an opinion. We manage relationships and projects. In short, we get things done.

The CJMH Difference

At a large AmLaw 100 firm, clients pay a premium for one-stop shopping, access to national experts in every specialization conceivable, and a deep bench of attorneys that the client might never need. At CJMH, you get highly skilled attorneys with the know-how and horse power to get almost all you need done, done well, and done on time.  Our value proposition is that we are “fit for purpose” for nearly all of the legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of your business and investment holdings.  When the need for specializations or local counsel arise in other jurisdictions, we can rely on our relationships in IR Global and personal networks to ensure our clients get precisely the right legal representation when and where they need it.

Our Culture

The CJMH collegial environment not only makes it a great place to work, but it gives our clients the benefit of our collaborative attitudes. We strive to ensure that our clients get the benefit of working with the attorneys who are best suited to advise on particular matters. While we try to avoid over-lawyering, we work to ensure that our clients receive personalized service as well as expert counsel.  In addition, we value attorney development and pride ourselves on the long term retention of our talented attorneys.

Our Clients & Industries

Our clients come from diverse industries and market segments, ranging from start-up ventures to middle market corporations, multinational corporate groups, oilfield and offshore energy services, as well as ultra high net worth investors and some of Houston’s most prominent family offices. But we aren’t ones to brag. Although we are proud of our work and admire our clients, it’s unlikely you will see us publish tombstones for deal closings or press releases about the work that we do. Our clients value discretion – and we value our clients.

The Professional's Professional

We regularly work hand-in-glove with other professionals, including lawyers at other law firms. We collaborate with a local network of accountants, wealth advisors, and attorneys who entrust us to provide highly-skilled strategies, ingenious problem solving, and impeccable service to their clients. Our tax lawyers are thought leaders who regularly provide tax continuing education to accountants and attorneys through our tax breakfasts and annual tax seminar.
