Representative Experience
Craig Brown joined Cotten Schmidt & Abbott, L.L.P. at its office in The Woodlands, Texas in 2016. Before joining the firm, he clerked for one of the nation’s largest healthcare systems, UnityPoint Health, and worked as a prosecuting intern for the Polk County Attorney’s Office in Des Moines, Iowa. Mr. Brown’s practice is focused on a wide range of civil litigation matters including admiralty, trucking, and toxic tort defense in Harris County and throughout Texas. He takes great satisfaction in earning nonsuits for clients who are needlessly, and through no fault of their own, dragged into litigation by attorneys who take a dragnet, ‘sue everyone now and ask questions later’ approach to initiating suit.
