Griffin Bunnell
Griffin Bunnell ATTORNEY

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, labor law, 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.
