Colby Lewis is a Houston trial lawyer and the founder of The Law Offices of Colby Lewis, PLLC. He spent the first decade of his career on the other side. He began on the plaintiffs' Houston trial team in In re Enron Securities Litigation, then moved to insurance defense, where he handled more than 500 Hurricane Ike cases for carriers and became a partner trying cases for Fortune 500 insurers.
In 2015 he founded his own firm to represent injured people, families, and businesses against insurance companies. The firm has recovered more than $200 million for clients. Because he learned how carrier counsel evaluates a file, the firm prepares every case for trial from intake rather than for the adjuster's first offer, and clients work directly with the lawyer handling their case.
The firm handles catastrophic injury and wrongful death, commercial trucking collisions, premises liability, first-party insurance and bad faith claims, construction defect, environmental contamination, and commercial litigation. Personal injury cases are handled on contingency, with no fee unless there is a recovery.
Colby has been selected to Super Lawyers every year from 2016 through 2026 and to the Top 100 Houston Super Lawyers list in 2025 and 2026. He holds an AV Preeminent rating, is a Fellow of the Texas Bar College, and is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. He has practiced since 2005 and is admitted in all four Texas federal district courts and the Fifth Circuit. The firm has offices in Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, McAllen, and Brownsville.
