John K. Zaid & Associates, PLLC

What John K. Zaid & Associates, PLLC does

John K. Zaid & Associates, PLLC is a Houston, Texas-based personal injury law firm founded in 2002 by attorney John K. Zaid. The firm represents individuals and families who have suffered injuries due to third-party negligence, operating across 17 dedicated practice areas that include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, brain injuries, birth injuries, catastrophic injuries, medical malpractice, product liability, maritime injuries, aviation accidents, and wrongful death. The firm employs 63 people including 20+ attorneys and operates six physical office locations across the Houston metropolitan area — Richmond Avenue, Heights, Irvington, El Camino Real, Clear Lake, and Deer Park — serving clients throughout Texas via in-person, telephone, and mobile (hospital/home) consultations.

The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis: clients pay no upfront legal fees and the firm is compensated only as a percentage of any settlement or verdict obtained. Client acquisition is direct-to-consumer, driven by organic search through an extensive blog covering injury topics, Google Business Profile and review presence, social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Avvo), client testimonials, referrals, and a free case evaluation intake available seven days a week via phone and website contact forms. The firm offers no proprietary technology platform; the core operational assets are the attorneys' expertise, a network of medical and accident-reconstruction experts, and the firm's accumulated trial experience and case portfolio.

The firm reports over $1 billion in cumulative client recoveries since founding, including a $1 billion verdict for a Roundup cancer victim, a $2.07 billion verdict (described as the largest single-plaintiff injury verdict in Georgia), and an $860 million verdict following a fatal crane accident. Founder John K. Zaid is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a credential held by fewer than 3% of Texas attorneys — and has been recognized in Texas Super Lawyers consecutively from 2022 through 2026. The firm is a privately held Texas professional limited liability company with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or public listing.
