I grew up in San Angelo, Texas in a family of six. From an early age, in this close-knit West Texas town, I learned the value of hard work, determination and fighting for what is right. As a young man, my interest in the law continued to grow and I set out to find a way to use this passion to help others.
At the University of Mississippi, after receiving my undergraduate degree in Business Administration and graduating summa cum laude, I went on to pursue a law degree. My commitment to my studies paid off once again as I graduated from law school, summa cum laude, at the top of my class.
Upon graduating, I began my legal career in the Austin litigation section of Vinson & Elkins. There, I represented a diverse client base ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses to private citizens. While at the firm, my practice included personal injury, securities issues, contract disputes, and everything in between. While at Vinson & Elkins, I had the privilege of practicing law among some of the top litigators in the United States.
In 2008, I decided to co-founded Sutliff & Stout PLLC to protect the rights of individuals facing the daunting task of litigating against big insurance companies and corporations. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to upholding the values instilled in me from an early age – hard work, determination and fighting for what is right.
