Johnny Day brings 25 years of experience in high stakes, complex litigation matters. His unwavering work ethic and intellect are second to none. Johnny graduatedsumma cum laude from Vanderbilt University (top 1% of his class) in History with Honors. He was Phi Beta Kappa as well. He attended the University of Virginia School of Law for his Doctor of Jurisprudence and moved to Texas.

Johnny began his career in the Litigation Section of Vinson & Elkins, where he worked on both large litigation teams and small ones. He honed his legal research and writing skills, but also was involved in taking over 100 depositions. Much of his practice was on the tort defense side of the docket. Johnny continued his legal career working on the frontlines of high dollar, complex commercial litigation cases with Dobrowski L.L.P. – where he had over 50 courtroom appearances. He was tasked with developing innovative and fresh ideas on these cases.

Johnny Day started his own firm expanding his practice into plaintiffs’ personal injury work. He obtained a $4 million verdict in a shoulder injury case, when the pre-trial offer was only $40,000. That case was affirmed by the Fifth Circuit. He also handled intellectual property cases and secured a $20 million federal court verdict. In total, Johnny has first-chaired and been a part of winning trial teams on more than 10 cases that have reached verdict. Johnny’s research and writing skills were again put to use as he handled five appeals, including the filing of two briefs in the highest courts in Texas. Additionally, he developed expertise in FINRA cases, ultimately becoming an arbitrator in several multiple million-dollar arbitrations that reached judgment. Most recently in 2024, Johnny was lead lawyer on a team that won a unanimous, clear and convincing $1.7 million fraud verdict.  The confident defendant had offered nothing before trial.

In his spare time, Johnny is an avid reader and movie goer. His favorite book is Lawyer: My Trials and Jubilations by Joe Jamail, and his favorite movie is “The Verdict,” starring Paul Newman.
