Firm Profile:
Brown & Fortunato, P.C. is a progressive law firm dedicated to providing excellent legal services to its clients. Founded in 1995, the firm rejected the traditional law firm paradigm for a model that reflects a business enterprise more than a law firm, enabling us to be efficient and responsive to clients' legal matters. Our diversity is reflected in our practice areas and attorneys, who frequently speak at regional and national conferences and publish articles in respected law journals and trade publications. Our trial practice includes representation of major corporations, small businesses, insurance companies and individuals in almost every type of litigation, including the bet-the-company case, employment matters, insurance defense, and oil and gas cases. The firm's transaction and corporate practice include representation of significant financial institutions, real estate clients, and business entities, both large and small. Our health care group supports a national client base of durable medical equipment companies, pharmacies, hospitals, and other health care providers with facilities from coast-to-coast.

The firm relies on technological resources for research and for telecommunications with clients. Our library includes CD-ROM and Internet based resources and more than 39,000 oil and gas title opinions covering the Texas Panhandle and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico.
