If you have a legal obligation to act in the best interests of another person, you can do your best to fulfill that obligation, but still find yourself facing allegations that you were negligent or that you have intentionally violated your duty. When facing claims that you have breached a fiduciary duty, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your rights, someone who has successfully helped others in similar circumstances. The same is true when you are a trust beneficiary or other person who is owed a fiduciary duty and you wish to prosecute a claim against the trustee or other fiduciary.

At the Law Office of Walter S. Cowger, I bring extensive legal experience to my clients in Texas and beyond. As your attorney, I can help you to identify all potential legal issues. I will take the time to learn the details of your case, as well as your goals, so that I can formulate the most effective strategy to get the outcome you want.

Representation in Fiduciary Litigation

I provide comprehensive counsel to individuals who have been sued for breach of fiduciary duty, including:

• Lawyers
• Trustees
• Corporate officers and directors
• Employees

When you engage me to defend you against allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, I will exhaustively investigate the facts of your case, reviewing all relevant documents and questioning all potential witnesses. I will prepare and file all necessary pleadings and other documents, and I will be your representative in all phases of the case, from depositions to mediation to trial.

I also represent beneficiaries and other plaintiffs in pursuing claims of breach of fiduciary duty against trustees and other fiduciaries. Examples of fiduciary litigation I have recently handled include:

• Representing both plaintiffs and defendants in legal malpractice claims
• Defending the trustee of a family trust against claims of misappropriation of trust assets
• Defending a member of a limited liability company against claims of breach of fiduciary duty and violation of a non-compete
