Eloy Gaitan ATTORNEY
Eloy Gaitan joined the Williams Hart & Boundas, LLP team as an attorney in 2007. He has been practicing law since 1994 and primarily focuses on personal injury and worker’s compensation cases. He is a passionate advocate for his clients and is dedicated to fighting for the justice they deserve. Part of this passion comes from first-hand experience.
In high school, Eloy’s father was seriously injured and was unable to work as a result. As the sole breadwinner, his father’s inability to work placed significant stress on his entire family. Familiar with the difficulties faced by his clients, he has a greater understanding of what they need and is motivated to ensure that they get the help they deserve. This is evident in the millions of dollars he has managed to secure for his clients throughout the years.
He is licensed to practice in Texas, as well as in the United States District Courts for the Western District of Texas, Southern District of Texas, Eastern District of Texas, and Northern District of Texas. He is Board Certified in Worker’s Compensation Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Eloy graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science in 1982. He then attended Thurgood Marshall School of Law, attaining his law degree in 1993.
Eloy is a member of numerous professional organizations, including the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association of Justice, the Houston Trial Lawyers Association, and the Houston Bar Association.
