Charlie C. Gustin built his reputation as a smart, tough litigator by securing record-breaking results while giving each client the personal care they deserve.

Gustin Law Firm is recognized for securing the #1 Top Rideshare / Uber Settlement in the entire state of Texas, the #1 Top Drunk Driver Settlement in Harris County, and as co-counsel on a Top 50 Texas Jury Verdict. Charlie has won over $50 Million in verdicts and settlements for his clients.

Gustin Law Firm was recently voted Top 3 “Best of The Best” by the Houston Chronicle after 550,000+ votes were cast. Houstonia Magazine calls Charlie one of Houston’s “Top Lawyers.” He has been honored as a Texas “Super Lawyer” 5 years in a row based on evaluations by his fellow Texas attorneys.

Charlie’s dedication to going the extra mile fighting for his clients has been featured by many major news outlets, including The Dallas Morning News, The Austin American-Statesman, Yahoo News, and Texas Lawyer.

Charlie filed his first lawsuit as a teen, garnering nationwide press coverage for representing himself in federal court on constitutional issues. He was the first in his family to graduate college after earning an academic scholarship from The University of Texas. In law school Charlie was selected for the Dean’s Scholar Award while dominating the school’s esteemed legal advocacy program – winning “Top Speaker” (out of 82 peers) in the Leroy Jeffers Memorial Moot Court Tournament. Charlie later led a varsity moot court team to the national championship at the American College of Legal Medicine. During and after law school, Charlie worked as head law clerk for his legal mentor and trial legend Rusty Hardin.

Charlie C. Gustin is licensed to practice in all Texas state and federal courts, as well as all state courts in New Mexico and Arizona. He is a member of the State Bar of Texas, the State Bar of New Mexico, the State Bar of Arizona, the American Association of Justice, the North American Brain Injury Society, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and he serves on the Board of Directors of the Houston Trial Lawyers Association.

Although he has recovered tens of millions of dollars while helping hundreds of clients, Charlie is especially proud of a case when he helped shut down a dangerous Houston trampoline park, and another where he made sure a hurricane-displaced local family rebuilt their home and their lives after their insurance company wrongfully denied their claims. Currently, Charlie lives in Houston with his lovely wife, Dr. Jamie Everett, who Charlie will admit is the smartest in the family.
