Randy Howry | Austin Personal Injury Lawyer

Plain and simple, Randy Howry is a real trial attorney. Having personally tried hundreds of jury trials, he is known by both clients and opposing parties as an attorney that will take a straight line to a jury to get full and fair compensation for his client if it is not offered voluntarily. There is simply no substitute for experience and results, and Randy brings both. As a founding partner of Howry Breen & Herman, Randy is experienced, aggressive, accomplished, Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law, by The Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and is a known trial attorney that delivers results. The proof is in Randy’s results.

Randy is successful for his clients because perceptive parties on the other side realize the result at trial against Randy could be much, much worse. In one instance representing a business harmed by another company, the opponent made a low-ball offer and dared Randy to try the case. So, Randy did—and secured a verdict eclipsing the pre-trial offer. Randy is working to track down the defendant and collect this judgment.

Randy’s legal practice focuses on personal injury, products liability, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and commercial/business disputes. His mission is to fight to win his clients the best outcome possible while maintaining the trust and confidence his clients deserve.

Raised in Georgetown, Texas, Randy knows and loves the Austin-Georgetown area. Family is everything to Randy. He and Julia, his wife of 26 years, share two children, Baker and Daniel. Though he now resides in Austin, he greatly enjoys his frequent visits back to Georgetown to see his mother, Georgia.

It’s important to Randy to also treat clients like his family. He isn’t afraid to tackle the complicated cases and aggressively pursue the best results for his clients. He knows those complicated cases take many hours, extensive resources, and long days, but he knows every second is worth it in his fight to secure his clients the outcome they deserve. This devotion to his clients is favorable and pays off. Recently, Randy spearheaded the prosecution of a case against a national corporate chain for the death of a young man on its premises, securing a confidential settlement and important changes from the defendant to ensure such a needless death not occur in the future to another family. Making a difference for and with his clients is paramount to Randy, and he is proud to call Howry, Breen & Herman home. It only makes sense that Randy would treat his clients and team like family too.
