Bobby M. Rubarts

With almost four decades of relevant experience resolving complex business disputes, Bobby Rubarts is on the short list for businesses and individuals in a broad range of complex business litigation matters. Bobby has enforced the rights of individuals and businesses in commercial and insurance coverage litigation before state and federal courts and arbitrators throughout Texas, involving a broad spectrum of claim types, including insurance recovery, partnership disputes, business divorces, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, Deceptive Trade Practices, Insurance Code, trusts and estates, and commercial real estate litigation. Insurance recovery matters have included multi-million-dollar claims under commercial property, professional liability, and directors and officers liability policies. Trained and mentored by legendary trial lawyers, Bobby is not a typical big firm litigator, but is board certified in civil trial law, having successfully tried numerous cases to jury verdict. This rare breadth and depth of experience and effectiveness both in and out of the courtroom enable Bobby to obtain the financial recovery and results his clients deserve in times of crisis. He never takes on more cases than he can personally handle at any given time, allowing him to manage the numerous details and big-picture strategy for each case. Never wasting a clients time or money, he oversees a lean, cost-efficient team and identifies the relevant issues that will drive a case to the right settlement or a just result at trial. This includes drawing on his expansive network built over the years, teaming with top attorneys outside of his firm when appropriate to access additional skill and experience. Most commercial litigators, especially insurance attorneys, arent trial lawyers - they dont have deep experience actually proving a case to a jury, judge, or arbitrator, and often overestimate how an opponents positions will ultimately play out in a trial. This often results in settlements at less than adequate compensation. While Bobby always explores every opportunity to settle cases, hes also fully prepared to enforce his clients rights in the courtroom.
