Sarbdeep Atwal studied Finance and Risk Management at the California State University of Sacramento. His undergraduate educational pursuits were always in conjunction with the managing of the family farming business. By means of these practical and real world business experiences he became interested in acquiring a legal degree. Initially, his aim was to generate a competent understanding of the law to help promote efficient and aggressive business practices within the family business. This desire became broader in scope as he matured; he embraced the passion he'd always had when it came to helping others and the realization of the value inherent in providing legal awareness and insight to those with specific legal needs. Sarbdeep's growing interests in law and real life experiences led him to pursue his Juris Doctorate at Trinity Law School; the California Campus and satellite location of Trinity International University (Deerfield IL). Trinity Law School Is located in the heart of Orange County, California. During the course of his studies in law, he had the unique opportunity of partaking in a study abroad program in the beautiful city of Strasbourg; the capital and principal city of the Alsace region in eastern France. During this time abroad, he actively explored International Human Rights Law within the United Nations collective of Eastern Countries; starting from Africa and stretching all the way to South America. He invested time in understanding the cultural impunities that helped form certain types of Human Rights legislation (immortalized in treaties and protocols forming international law) such as the Geneva Convention, which are universally enforced today. He also had the unique opportunity to take part in proceedings within the European Union. Such exposure aided in gaining a universal understanding of Human Rights and broadening his cultural and legal experience. The end result is that it has developed his passion, which in a practical evolution had come to embody issues surrounding Immigration Law and Criminal Law and the multitude of legal obstacles arising from their practice and enforcement. He was admitted to the California Bar in June 2010. Thereafter, he continued to work for his family business; heavily involved in daily operations but with the primary task of tending to the companies legal needs. His practice involved the drafting of various contracts including Leasehold agreements, purchase agreements, contracts between buyers and sellers, easement and boundary line disputes. He also catered to several of the company employees needs on a pro bono basis. He helped assist in various immigration issues such as work type visas, adjustment of status and naturalization proceedings and Social Security and Disability hearings. Motivated to keep cultivating a diverse experience in law, Sarbdeep decided to expand his Legal background in Bankruptcy and Business Law. He began work at a Bankruptcy Firm which focused heavily on Chapter 7 Bankruptcies and Debt Relief. He worked aggressively through Client Intake, petition filing, 341 hearings between Trustee and Creditors, to final Discharge. Thereafter, he was offered a unique opportunity to work with a very prominent and successful Criminal Defense and Personal Injury Attorney. Developing a passion for Criminal Law began as far back as the first days of Law School. When given the opportunity to work in a Criminal Defense firm, he wholeheartedly accepted. There, he worked on all parts of the Criminal Process: from Client intake, Arraignment, Pretrial hearings to Preliminary Hearings and Trial proceedings. He also worked specifically in Drunk Driving Defense including all parts of the DMV process. Thereafter, he decided to serve the local legal needs of Yuba Sutter Counties and the greater Sacramento Valley and opened his own practice in Yuba City, California, specializing in Drunk Driving Defense. Sarbdeep speaks fluent Punjabi and conversational Spanish to help serve those with a language barrier. Sarbdeep specializes in Criminal Defense, DMV hearings, Social Security and Disability, and Real Estate Issues.

Gregory H. Herrman has been committed to providing quality legal representation for injured accident victims in the Corpus Christi area and the Rio Grande Valley for many years. A native of Hays, Kansas, Herrman comes from a family of lawyers. His father had a general practice in Hays, and an uncle and grandfather also were attorneys. He came to Texas and received a B.A. in Liberal Arts from the University of Texas in 1982 and his J.D. from Baylor University School of Law in 1986. During his undergraduate years, he worked his way through school by selling Kirby vacuum cleaners door to door, and started his own Kirby franchise during law school. After getting his J.D., Herrman joined a firm in Corpus Christi, handling both plaintiff’s personal injury and insurance defense cases. After five years, he joined his brother, David, and another attorney to form their own law firm committed solely to representing injured accident victims. Herrman has maintained that focus in his practice ever since. He has had a hand in many significant resolutions on behalf of his clients, including multiple seven-figure settlements. While big wins are satisfying, Herrman takes the same professional satisfaction from successful outcomes for clients with smaller cases. “I just like helping people and getting what I consider justice from the insurance companies,” he says. “They always try to pay as little as possible.” In addition to giving each case his most exacting legal attention, Herrman is also committed to providing his clients the best in customer service. “Our mission is to be the number one firm for client satisfaction,” he says. “We tell people that while we can’t promise a result, we’ll do the best we can—and that what we can promise is that we’ll give you the best client service we can and be responsive to your needs.” Through his efforts in helping people, Herrman has built strong ties in the South Texas communities served by the firm. He is involved in numerous charities, including the Beach to Bay relay marathon race, Toys for Tots, Stuff the Bus and Fiesta De La Flor. The firm also sponsors an annual Innovation Scholarship Essay Contest, providing $5,000 in scholarships to students who submit essays on topics dealing with safety, and a program called People Assisting Animal Control, in which the firm helps to protect the Corpus Christi pet population by providing 25 spays and neuters per month. While Herrman’s primary joy in life is providing service to residents of the Corpus Christi area and Rio Grande Valley, he also enjoys fishing, hunting, sailing, hiking, skiing and keeping fit.

Henry David Thoreau said it best by stating, “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation, and go to the grave with the song still in them.” Robert (“Rob”) Titus is one of the rare people that will die with no songs left in his heart. A natural extrovert with a passion for the courtroom, Rob’s greatest asset is his ability to connect with people. Out of law school, Rob worked at one of the biggest oil companies in America as a landman. He ended up as in-house counsel in Kansas working for a top-ten oil producer. The great oil crash of 2015 hit the country hard, and Rob especially. He left the oil business and joined a firm that specialized in suing gas companies. In three years, Rob assisted several royalties owners to achieve multi-million dollar settlements for underpayment of natural gas royalties, with his efforts culminating in a ten-million-dollar settlement on behalf of a class of royalty owners in three Colorado counties. After spending time in private practice, Rob saw a disturbing trend. Far too many of the litigants he saw in court were self-represented. Worse still, most of them could achieve their case goals with quality representation, but could not afford a lawyer. Then Rob considered creating a law firm that would eschew the traditional model and bring legal service to everyone. And out of the desire to buck the trend, Titus Law Firm, LLC was born. Rob lives in Kansas City with his wife Abby, his two children, Lily and Lincoln, and their two Labrador retrievers. You will find him with his kids exploring the lakes and hiking trails of Kansas and Missouri. He is a published author and a proud graduate of the University of Texas English Honors Program. When he is not at work, you will find Rob at a Texas football game, always mistakenly believing that this will be the year Texas brings in a title (it has been a long, dark decade that Rob has nicknamed “the Wilderness”).
