Margaret Bryant

Exceptional guidance through a complex construction dispute

I engaged Margaret Bryant of Ware, Jackson, Lee, O'Neill, Smith & Barrow LLP during a contentious and high-stakes construction defect lawsuit. From our initial consultation in her Austin office, it was clear her background in construction litigation was profound. While her profile notes her recognition in that field, experiencing her strategic approach firsthand was something else entirely. She meticulously dissected the technical aspects of our case—from building code compliance to contractor performance standards—and built a compelling narrative for potential appellate review, showcasing her dual expertise. Margaret’s professionalism was unwavering; she managed aggressive opposing counsel with poise and kept me informed at every turn, translating complex legal concepts into clear, actionable advice. Her preparation was exhaustive, and it paid off with a settlement that far exceeded our initial expectations, effectively avoiding a protracted trial. For anyone in Texas facing intricate litigation, particularly where construction law and potential appeals intersect, Margaret Bryant is an outstanding advocate. Her deep knowledge and client-focused dedication are truly impressive.
