Tristan Crowder es un abogado de juicio comprometido con lograr los mejores resultados para las personas que han sufrido lesiones graves o han perdido la vida debido a la negligencia de otros. Criado con valores fundamentales como determinación, resiliencia e integridad, Tristan supo desde joven que su propósito en la vida era marcar la diferencia en la vida de las personas. Desde el inicio de su carrera, encontró inspiración en los grandes abogados litigantes, quienes enfatizaban la importancia de la preparación y la estrategia en la representación de sus clientes. Entre sus enseñanzas favoritas destaca la frase en latín “Amat Victoria Curam”, que significa “La victoria ama la preparación”. Tristan ha adoptado este principio en su práctica, comprendiendo que una preparación minuciosa puede superar cualquier obstáculo, un valor clave que aplica en cada caso.
Antes de unirse a Sorrels Law, Tristan comenzó su carrera en una prestigiosa firma de defensa en Houston, donde representó a corporaciones en casos de lesiones catastróficas y demandas por muerte injusta. Durante su tiempo en la defensa, logró varios resultados exitosos, incluyendo ganar su primer juicio con jurado apenas cinco meses después de iniciar su carrera legal. Sin embargo, con el tiempo, decidió que era momento de cumplir su verdadero propósito: representar a las víctimas. Dejó su práctica de defensa y ahora usa su experiencia asesorando a ejecutivos de corporaciones e industrias de seguros para fortalecer cada uno de sus casos.
Tristan se dedica a responsabilizar a individuos y empresas por su conducta imprudente y negligente, adoptando un enfoque agresivo pero calculado en cada litigio. Su práctica se centra en casos de lesiones personales catastróficas, colisiones de automóviles y camiones de 18 ruedas, responsabilidad de locales, responsabilidad por productos defectuosos y demandas por muerte injusta.
Tristan obtuvo su Juris Doctor en Baylor Law School, donde recibió capacitación práctica en litigación a través del reconocido programa “Practice Court” de Baylor Law. Durante la facultad de derecho, buscó activamente oportunidades para fortalecer sus habilidades de defensa, participando en los equipos de juicio simulado de Baylor en la competencia South Texas Mock Trial Challenge y en la National Civil Trial Competition (NCTC). Además, fue miembro distinguido de la Order of the Barristers y participó en la Clínica de Defensa en Juicio, que ofrecía servicios legales gratuitos a veteranos locales.
