Glasheen, Valles & Inderman

What Glasheen, Valles & Inderman does

Glasheen, Valles & Inderman (GVILAW) is a Texas-based personal injury law firm specializing in catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation across Texas and New Mexico. Founded by Kevin Glasheen in 1988, the firm is structured as a limited liability partnership (LLP) and operates six offices in Lubbock (headquarters), Austin, El Paso, Odessa, Hobbs, and Albuquerque, with attorneys licensed in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Colorado. Practice areas span motor vehicle accidents (including truck, train, motorcycle, Amazon delivery, and DUI/drunk-driving cases), work injuries (oilfield, construction, industrial, farm, and FELA railroad claims), catastrophic injuries (wrongful death, burns, brain and spinal cord injuries, electrocution), defective products, and premises liability. The firm represents individual plaintiffs on a contingency-fee basis (typically 40% plus expenses), with no fees due unless recovery is obtained and free 24/7 consultations available in English and Spanish.

The firm's distinguishing operational asset is an in-house investigation and visual-evidence production stack that includes a full-time pilot and firm airplane, drone aerial imaging at 4K UHD resolution, a digital video production studio, medical illustrators, and accident animators — capabilities typically absent from comparably sized regional PI practices and used to generate demonstrative evidence for trial. Senior partners include Kevin Glasheen, Noe Valles (Pre-Litigation Managing Partner, bilingual), and Chad Inderman (Litigation Managing Partner, $500M+ recovered as lead counsel), supported by additional partners and Of Counsel. The firm draws roughly one-third of its caseload from referring attorneys, supplemented by direct client acquisition through community sponsorships, Google reviews (500+ five-star), bilingual marketing, and content channels. Recent strategic actions include a series of internal partner promotions between 2022 and 2024, addition of a Chief Operating Officer, and a flagship 2023 $860M wrongful death verdict obtained by associate attorney Jonathon C. Clark.

Direct peers

• Thomas J. Henry Law: Large Texas-headquartered plaintiff personal injury firm with offices across the state and a national caseload in catastrophic injury and wrongful death. Most directly comparable peer by virtue of overlapping geographies, case-type focus, contingency fee model, and active large-verdict practice.
• The Carlson Law Firm: Texas-based personal injury firm with multiple offices serving catastrophic injury, trucking, and wrongful death clients. Comparable regional plaintiff PI firm with contingency fee model and similar case-type mix centered on transportation and workplace injuries.
• Zinda Law Group: Texas-headquartered plaintiff personal injury firm with offices in Austin, Dallas, and other major metros. Comparable in contingency fee model, transportation accident focus, and use of in-house investigative resources for catastrophic injury cases.
• Arnold & Itkin LLP: Houston-based plaintiff firm focusing on catastrophic injury, maritime, and oilfield cases. Highly comparable in contingency fee catastrophic injury practice anchored in Texas, with significant oil-and-gas workplace injury exposure.

Broad incumbents

• Morgan & Morgan: Largest U.S. plaintiff personal injury firm operating across many states with massive marketing-driven acquisition and broad case-type coverage. Comparable in contingency fee personal injury model and aggressive trial approach, but operates as a broad national incumbent rather than a regional specialist.
• Simmons Hanly Conroy: National plaintiff firm with strong mass tort and catastrophic injury practice. Comparable in contingency-fee severe-injury representation and verdict track record, but broader scope and larger scale make it more of a broad incumbent.
• Cellino Law: Large plaintiff personal injury firm with broad U.S. footprint and contingency fee model. Comparable in plaintiff PI focus and brand-driven client acquisition, though broader and more advertising-heavy than GVILAW's community-sponsorship-led approach.

Regional players

• Abraham Watkins: Houston-based plaintiff personal injury firm with a long track record in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases in Texas. Comparable regional PI firm anchored in Gulf Coast/Houston market rather than West Texas/New Mexico geography.

Emerging players

• Ragland & Babineaux: Texas-based plaintiff personal injury firm handling catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases on contingency. Comparable in contingency fee model and Texas regional orientation, though smaller scale and narrower geographic footprint.
• Kazen Law Firm: Texas-based catastrophic injury and wrongful death firm with significant FELA and workplace injury practice. Comparable in case-type overlap (railroad/FELA, oilfield injuries) and contingency fee model, though smaller and less multi-office than GVILAW.
