What Horne Rota Moos, Llp does

Horne Rota Moos, L.L.P (HRM) is a Texas-based civil defense litigation boutique organized as a Limited Liability Partnership and headquartered at 2777 Allen Parkway, Suite 1200 in Houston. The firm operates with five attorneys: equity partners Chastiti N. Horne and Gregory C. Rota, partner Marvin C. Moos, and associates Sydney H. Bateman and Jeffrey M. Heyman. It represents corporations, insurance companies, and individuals in civil litigation matters in Texas state courts, U.S. District Courts, and other state and provincial jurisdictions.

The firm's service portfolio spans approximately 22 practice areas with primary concentration in healthcare liability defense, insurance defense, commercial litigation, construction law, premises liability, products liability, trucking liability, oil and gas litigation, employment law, and appellate representation. It maintains a full-service appellate department led by a Board Certified Civil Appellate Law specialist and offers Alternative Dispute Resolution through certified mediators on staff. Differentiators cited include board-certified attorneys, industry-specific expertise (notably petroleum engineering for oil and gas matters), Texas Medical Board representation experience, and recognized credentials including Texas Super Lawyer and Texas Rising Star designations.

HRM generates revenue through traditional professional services fees billed on a per-matter basis against case complexity, scope, and client requirements. GTM motion is enterprise field sales, with client acquisition driven by professional reputation, attorney recognition awards, conference presentations, and community involvement rather than paid advertising. Key enterprise relationships include panel counsel engagements with national healthcare companies, representation of one of the largest U.S. restaurant and entertainment chains, statewide counsel for a global elevator and escalator manufacturer, and ongoing engagements with multiple casualty insurance carriers and refinery maintenance contractors.
