Patric P. McCallum

Personal Background & Practice Concentration:

Mr. McCallum was born in Dallas, Texas, and grew up in Plano.  He began practicing law in Houston in 1998 with a primary concentration in business and commercial litigation and bankruptcy.  He successfully defended businesses in state and bankruptcy courts.  He also secured judgments and judicial relief for a banking institution and other businesses. 

Mr. McCallum began practicing law in Marshall, Texas, in 1999, where over the course of several years he gained significant trial experience in both federal and state courts.  His practice included plaintiff's representation in  significant injury cases, as well as local counsel representation in patent and other federal ligation.  He moved back to Harris County to practice with a large law firm in 2005.  Mr. McCallum's practice at that time included defending disputes on large commercial construction projects, while pursuing payment claims and liens on behalf of his clients.  While practicing in Marshall and Houston, he litigated and arbitrated matters throughout Texas involving complex construction disputes, performance and payment bond claims, mechanic's and materialmen's liens, contract and lease disputes, land survey and easement matters, serious injury and death tort cases, defective product cases, catastrophic trucking and automobile accidents, oilfield injury, premises liability, and consumer transactions/Deceptive Trade Practices.  He continues to maintain a general civil practice focusing in all of the above areas, as well as family and collaborative law.

Mr. McCallum is also a certified mediator, and as a mediator he utilizes his years of experience to assist attorneys and their clients in resolving disputes through alternative dispute resolution.

Texas Monthly Magazine/Texas Law and Politics named Mr. McCallum a Texas Super Lawyer Rising Star in 2004 in personal injury litigation and again in 2006 and 2011 in the area of business litigation.  Selection as a Texas Super Lawyer Rising Star is a prestigious honor bestowed on Texas lawyers 40 years old or younger or who have been practicing 10 or fewer years.
