D. Douglas Mena

Douglas Mena Attorney Bio Doug Mena knew that he could bring his ten years of valuable experience as a defense attorney to help injured people recover from the major insurance companies that he once represented. Over the last decade, he has seen the tricks that big companies use to avoid responsibility. Looking at each case, he knows what a defense lawyer sees and will build a case with those pitfalls in mind. Doug Mena began his career defending corporations as a trial lawyer. As a litigator for companies, he honed his skills in the courtroom at an early age, obtaining favorable verdicts as lead counsel and second chair within his first year of practice. He became so proficient that he quickly became the youngest partner of a national defense firm. But after eight years defending corporations, Doug was called to the other side of the bar. Rather than defending corporations and their employees who had clearly breached their duties, he wanted to use his skills to help the everyday individuals who are so often underrepresented. Dougs practice includes commercial litigation matters, relating to trucking and transportation liability, products liability, dram shop liability, and premises liability as well as construction defects, toxic tort, business litigation, first-party litigation, and general negligence. Additionally, he also has experience in appellate practice at both the state and federal levels. His fast-tracked career was recognized early and often by the plethora of acknowledgements, both locally and nationwide: AREAS OF PRACTICE Personal Injury Trucking and Transportation Liability Products Liability Dram Shop Liability Premises Liability Construction Defects Toxic Tort Business Litigation Workers Compensation Medical Malpractice BAR ADMISSIONS Texas United States District Courts: Northern District of Texas, Southern District of Texas, Eastern District of Texas, Western District of Texas United States Court of Appeals: Fifth Circuit EDUCATION South Texas College of Law, JD, 2007 St. Edwards University, BBA, 2004; magna cum laude PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS AND MEMBERSHIPS Houston Young Lawyers Association; co-chair of the Charity Golf Tournament Committee (2008) American Bar Association Texas Bar Association Houston Bar Association Fort Bend Bar Association South Texas College of Law Young Alumni Association Houston Trial Lawyers Association Texas Trial Lawyers Association; Board Member (2019) The National Trial Lawyers <img decoding=async src=/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/NTL-top-40-member-logo.png alt=The National Trial Lawyers width=300 height=160 /> <img fetchpriority=high decoding=async class=size-medium wp-image-1936 alignnone src=/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/doug-award-2018-2-203x300.jpg alt=Doug Mena - 2018 Ten best attorney, high verdict and settlement winner - American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys width=203 height=300 srcset=/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/doug-award-2018-2-203x300.jpg 203w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/07/doug-award-2018-2-692x1024.jpg 692w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/07/doug-award-2018-2-768x1137.jpg 768w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/07/doug-award-2018-2-1038x1536.jpg 1038w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/07/doug-award-2018-2-1384x2048.jpg 1384w, /wp-content/uploads/2018/07/doug-award-2018-2.jpg 1510w sizes=(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px /> <img decoding=async class=alignnone size-full wp-image-2044 src=https://huanmena.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/haun_mena_top_verdict_badge_small.png alt=Haun Mena Top Verdicts in Personal Injury and Immigration Law - Houston, TX width=180 height=168 />
