The Button Law Firm

What The Button Law Firm does

The Button Law Firm, PLLC is a Texas-based personal injury and trial law firm founded in 2015 by Russell Button and headquartered in Dallas, with additional offices in Midland (West Texas) and Spring (Greater Houston). The firm operates on a contingency fee model (33.3% of recovery if a case settles before suit, 40% if a lawsuit is filed) and offers free case evaluations via 24/7 phone intake, online forms, and an attorney referral network.

The firm's core practice is concentrated on daycare and childcare injury cases — including child abuse, neglect, supervision failures, burns, sexual abuse, vehicle-related heat injuries, allergic reactions, and premises liability incidents within daycare facilities. Adjacent practice areas include child injuries, catastrophic personal injuries (spinal cord, brain, amputation), wrongful death, auto accidents (truck, drunk driving, pedestrian, bicycle, delivery van), premises liability (escalator, dog attack, amusement park), and boating accidents. Substantive specialization in Texas childcare minimum standards and daycare licensure regulations is positioned as a core differentiator alongside attorney credentials such as Texas Super Lawyers and Texas Trial Lawyers Association membership.

The go-to-market relies on content marketing (educational blog, YouTube library, free downloadable guides, Spanish-language resources), organic social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube), a formal attorney referral program paying five-to-seven-figure referral fees, and direct intake via phone and web forms. The firm reports no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds; it remains a founder-controlled private professional LLC operating across three Texas metros with 11-50 employees, including three named executives — Russell Button (Founding Partner), Ashley Knarr (Managing Partner), and Elizabeth Bauman (Chief Operations Officer).
