JH Law Texas focuses on cases where technical knowledge makes the difference — commercial trucking, product defects, and catastrophic industrial accidents throughout Texas.
Texas roads carry more commercial freight than any state in the nation. When an 18-wheeler, tanker, or commercial vehicle causes a crash, the consequences are catastrophic — and the legal fight is anything but simple.
Trucking companies deploy rapid-response teams within hours of a serious accident to protect their interests. Josh deploys first. Before evidence is destroyed, before logs are altered, before witnesses scatter — JH Law Texas gets to work preserving what wins cases.
Josh's mechanical engineering background from UT Austin gives him a genuine technical edge. He reads black box data, ELD logs, and FMCSA compliance records the way other attorneys read depositions. That depth is not available at high-volume firms where your file gets handed to a paralegal.
The Port of Corpus Christi is the nation's fourth-largest port by tonnage. Thousands of tanker trucks, hazmat carriers, and flatbeds run I-37, IH-69, and US-77 every day. No competing firm in South Texas has built a practice specifically around this corridor.
Josh earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UT Austin before law school — and is a Registered Patent Attorney. He understands vehicle dynamics, load physics, and mechanical failure modes that most plaintiff attorneys simply cannot evaluate. That technical depth shapes how cases are built and how experts are cross-examined.
When a product injures or kills, the manufacturer, distributor, and retailer can all be liable. Product liability cases demand engineering and scientific analysis — the kind of technical depth Josh's background provides.
As a former partner at Sico White Hoelscher Braugh LLP, Josh litigated major product liability and mass tort cases involving industrial equipment, vehicle defects, and consumer products. He obtained a multimillion-dollar settlement for a client rendered paraplegic by a concealed automobile defect.
His Registered Patent Attorney status means he can read design patents, technical specifications, and engineering drawings — giving him access to evidence that most plaintiff lawyers cannot fully interpret.

When a trucking accident, product defect, or industrial failure takes a life, the legal process can feel unbearable. Josh handled one of the most significant wrongful death cases in Maine history — representing fourteen families in the aftermath of a van rollover that became the deadliest traffic accident in state history.
Josh's approach to wrongful death is the same as every case: personal, thorough, and relentless. Families deserve accountability — not a settlement pressure campaign driven by a firm's overhead.
Surviving spouses, children, and parents of the deceased may file a wrongful death claim under Texas law.
Lost income, loss of companionship, funeral expenses, mental anguish, and in some cases punitive damages against corporate defendants.
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for wrongful death claims. Evidence preservation begins immediately — contact Josh now.
South Texas is energy country. The Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, and the Corpus Christi petrochemical corridor create hazardous workplaces where explosions, blowouts, equipment failures, and transportation accidents claim lives every year.
Josh has handled catastrophic injury cases arising from oilfield operations, refinery fires, and petrochemical plant explosions. His engineering background allows him to work directly with industrial safety experts and accident reconstruction specialists in ways generalist attorneys cannot.
Many oilfield accidents involve overlapping liability — the landowner, the operator, the contractor, and the equipment manufacturer may all bear responsibility. Josh pursues every avenue to maximize your recovery.
