Proven Lawyers for Working Texans and Injured People Nationwide
In 1969, two young trial lawyers from Port Arthur, Texas, started a law firm that has since become legendary in Texas and built a nationwide reputation for helping individuals recover compensation for injuries. The son of a constable (David Provost, now deceased) and the son of a justice of the peace (Managing Partner Walter Umphrey) started a tradition of helping individuals get the justice they need and deserve.
"We balance justice for the working man. Someone has to do it, and that's my business."
— Walter Umphrey, our firm's managing partner, recognized in 2010 by Texas Lawyer magazine as one of the 25 greatest Texas lawyers of the past quarter century
Fighting for the Legal Rights of Individuals and Families Since 1969
The Provost Umphrey Law Firm's principal office is a renovated fruit warehouse in Beaumont, Texas. Saved from the wrecking ball, our 1923 building is the nerve center for more than 30 attorneys and 150 staff members.
We focus all our firm's resources on obtaining justice for individuals harmed by negligence — building each case for victory in a jury trial if necessary to attain justice for our client. Our clients include:
- People who have suffered personal injury or a wrongful death in the family under a broad range of circumstances
- Victims of dangerous drugs and medical products who need to pursue pharmaceutical or medical device litigation — as well as others with valid products liability claims
- Drivers and passengers hurt in motor vehicle and aviation accidents
- People injured on the job in construction, maritime, manufacturing, railroad and other work accidents — or through chemical exposure to asbestos, benzene or other toxic products
