Griffin Bunnell passionately advocates for injured clients facing negligence, prioritizing compassionate representation to secure the compensation they deserve. Growing up in Port Lavaca, Texas, Griffin developed a deep admiration for the hard work, resilience, and dedication of the farmers and plant workers in the area. This upbringing fostered a deep-rooted work ethic and dedication to service, which have been a big part of how he approaches his work as an attorney.
In the early years at Williams Hart & Boundas, LLP, Griffin focused exclusively on representing workers and their families in complex asbestos exposure cases. Building upon this experience, he now dedicates his practice to a wide array of legal matters affecting individuals and businesses. His knowledge encompasses work-related injuries and fatalities, 18-wheeler and commercial vehicle accidents, first-party insurance disputes, commercial litigation, maritime, and longshoreman injury cases.
He resides in Houston with his wife, Angela, and daughter, Cora. When he’s not practicing law, he enjoys fly-fishing and cheering on the Astros, Rockets, and his beloved Calhoun High School Sandcrabs.
