Texas Bar Foundation Names Houston Attorney Tommy Fibich as 2019 Ronald D. Secrest Outstanding Trial Lawyer

HOUSTON, Feb. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," may be an iconic catchphrase coined by Muhammed Ali, but it's become a characteristic way to define true professionals with a fighting style befitting of "The Greatest." Known by his peers as a passionate fighter, Houston Attorney Tommy Fibich has earned a reputation as one of the most successful, respected, and fearsome trial advocates in the state. His recent selection as the recipient of the 2019 Ronald D. Secrest Outstanding Trial Lawyer award signifies just that.

An honor created in 2002, the Ronald D. Secrest Outstanding Trial Lawyer award memorializes the life of the late Ronald Secrest, a renowned fighter in his own right whose abilities and career have become the standard for trial practice in the state of Texas.

The Texas Bar Foundation, the nation's largest charitably funded bar association, administers the annual award on behalf of the Beck Redden law firm, where Mr. Secrest was Founding Partner. The firm's $10,000 charitable gift made in consideration of the award allows the Bar Foundation to further its efforts to enhance the rule of law and the Texas judicial system, and to fund programs which provide legal services to the underserved, promote public legal education, and support legal professionals in communities across the state.

Each year, the Texas Bar Foundation names only one active trial attorney as the recipient of the Ronald D. Secret Outstanding Trial Lawyer award. Attorneys nominated by their peers for recognition are carefully evaluated by the Bar Foundation on their trial and advocacy skills, commitment to the highest standards of ethical and moral conduct, and proven record of success.

By being named the 2019 recipient, Tommy Fibich solidifies a reputation he's spent decades cultivating – a fearsome fighter with a caring and compassionate approach to helping clients prevail in even the most complex claims. From serious personal injury and product liability to fraud and commercial torts, Mr. Fibich's many trial victories have been secured through a seamless approach focused on preparation, patience, and an unwavering work ethic.

Tommy, just like Ali, knows how important that approach is when it comes to winning tough trials:

"The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights." – Muhammed Ali

Over his many years in practice, Tommy has worked tirelessly to help clients navigate difficult experiences and challenging legal journeys, and has vigorously fought on their behalves in and out of the courtroom. His successful trial verdicts against major corporations, insurance carriers, and other individual and corporate defendant whose conduct demand accountability and justice have helped numerous clients recover the compensation they deserved, and have earned Tommy a hard-earned reputation as a truly outstanding advocate.

Tommy Fibich is a Texas Trial Attorney who's been fighting for justice since he graduated from the University of Houston Law Center 45 years ago. Founding Partner of the Houston-based law firm of Fibich, Leebron, Copeland & Briggs, Tommy has never forgotten about his humble beginnings in Bruni, Texas, and has leveraged his diverse experiences in life and law to hone his trial skills – from picking the right jurors and communicating with them effectively in trial to identifying with the clients he represents as they face off against some of the world's large companies and corporate entities.
