Jesse Guerra
Senior Counsel – Austin
BIOGRAPHY
Jesse Guerra is a nationally renowned child safety lawyer who’s considered to be the go-to Texas and nationwide swimming pool drowning accident attorney. He is based out of Austin, Texas and accepts cases nationwide. Jesse has a reputation for having a no fear attitude in the courtroom and exceptional ability to tell his clients' stories in litigation and with juries in a trial.
His practice areas also include representing clients in catastrophic injury and wrongful death suits involving workplace injuries, explosions, trucking accidents, commercial vehicle accidents, premises liability, bullying/hazing cases, traumatic brain injury cases, and workplace sexual assault cases. He has built a reputation for winning tough cases most lawyers won’t even touch. Jesse prides himself on being a champion for fighting for the underdog against giant corporations and insurance companies who regard him as a highly skilled litigator with a proven history of successful wins for his clients. To date he holds the only Plaintiff’s jury trial verdict in Dallas County and the highest pool drowning settlement in Illinois. His strong work ethic and litigation skills have allowed him to recover over $100 million in his pool drowning cases alone since 2007. While each case is unique and no attorney can guarantee results, his winning reputation is well known among insurance companies and the defense attorneys who represent them.
When Jesse is not in the courtroom, you can find him hiking the Texas trails with his dog, playing high-level competitive tennis, and cheering on his beloved Texas Longhorns. Jesse also enjoys giving back to his community by volunteering his time to mentor young law school students in their pursuit of becoming future legal superstars. View Jesse’s Website
