  1. Formed by experienced trial lawyers, Rogge Dunn Group is a trial boutique handling business, employment, and FINRA matters.  The founding partners have tried cases in 7 states and 13 Texas cities.  We assembled a team of lawyers with big firm talent without the bureaucratic constraints, high fees, and conflicts of interests.  Our Firm’s approach gives us contingent fee flexibility and the creativity to think and operate outside the box.

    Don’t take our word for our courtroom success and client satisfaction. Take a minute to read the verdicts, published legal opinions, and news reports on the results we’ve obtained for clients all around Texas and the United States. Review the numerous client testimonials that satisfied, repeat clients have sent us. View Testimonials

    Our track record of pushing to resolve disputes quickly with a minimum of attorneys’ fees—but having the trial experience, litigation muscle, and energy to go all the way to the finish line, when the other side is unreasonable—is the key to our success.

  2. Lawsuits are generally time intensive and emotionally draining. Some successful lawyers coast on their reputations and don’t put in long hours and work weekends. There is no substitute for attention to detail and hard work.

    Our energy and enthusiasm produces results. When litigation looms, you need more than a “book smart lawyer,” you need a smart and street savvy trial attorney who has the energy and enthusiasm for an intense fight.

    Interview attorneys before you hire them. Judge their heart and character. When you are looking across boxes of half-eaten deli sandwiches, chips, and cookies in a conference room at 2 in the morning, will they have the same energy and enthusiasm they did when they took your first retainer check? If you find such an attorney, hire them, whether it’s us or someone else.

  3. It’s surprising how many lawyers don’t give out their cell phone numbers, take calls on weekends or respond while on vacation.  It has always amazed Rogge Dunn that plumbers and HVAC repairmen are available 24/7, yet lawyers are not.  A stopped up sink is a hassle, but responding to a client facing a legal crisis or dispute involving millions of dollars is usually significantly more critical than home repairs.

    Responding promptly to our client’s inquires is why all of our lawyers have their cell phone number on their emails and business cards.  It is also why we have a designated paralegal watch attorneys’ emails.  While a call or two may occasionally fall through the cracks, here at Rogge Dunn Group, our seasoned trial attorneys are totally committed and strive to be responsive 24/7/365.

    And, yes, it’s true, one of our partners who was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania with his son, checked voicemails and took client calls on the mountain with a satellite phone.

  4. Choose your attorney carefully.  Many attorneys are adept at pushing paper, but seldom take cases all the way to a jury verdict.  Ask the lawyer specifically how many times he or she has obtained a jury verdict.

    Hiring an experienced trial lawyer who flourishes at trial increases your settlement leverage.  If the other side knows your lawyer is bluffing, you will leave money on the table or overpay if you are a defendant.  When the other side knows they are negotiating against a seasoned trial attorney, you maximize your settlement position, as either a plaintiff or defendant.

  5. We work collaboratively with teams of other lawyers on big cases and executives who band together. We listen to clients and industry experts and, working together, develop and implement a game plan. We do not tell clients what they have to do; we listen and learn your goals. Then, we roll up our sleeves and work with you, shoulder to shoulder, to deliver results.

    Many of our attorneys earned their spurs as Senior Partners in mega-firms with offices around the world.  While huge firms are a good choice for many matters, they often lack flexibility. Big firms may view you as merely a one-time, low priority client compared to corporate clients who constitute the bulk of their business. Rogge Dunn Group gives you personalized attention. We treat each client like we want to be treated.

  6. Too many law firms stir up trouble or foment litigation without making an aggressive effort to resolve a dispute or lawsuit early on. Rogge Dunn Group takes a long run view and treats our clients like long term partners. Many clients hire us again and again and refer their family, friends, and business colleagues because we resolved their matter promptly for a minimum of attorney’s fees. We want to be your lawyers for life.

a smooth, short and affordable flight.”

“Rogge, You are one of those five special people in a life. Serious, talented but with a big heart.”

“You remained so accessible and always attentive during a period of upheaval in our lives.  We are forever grateful for your confidence, expertise, and personal touch–I owe you.”


—Brian Horan
Former Director SC Region Medtronic (Dallas)

“Rogge is well known for his expertise in helping C-level executives negotiate contracts and non-compete issues. He is a good counselor, trusted negotiator, and an excellent trial attorney.” 

“I had the opportunity to observe him in action in a mock trial and it’s comforting to know that if litigation is necessary, the same person who drafted an executive contract has the communication skills necessary to persuade a jury that the contract is both valid and fair.”


—Fred Perpall
CEO, Beck (Dallas)

“Rogge is Outback’s go-to lawyer for significant commercial litigation. For more than 20 years we have used Rogge to obtain injunctive relief for Outback in significant cases all across the country.”

“I’ve seen a lot of trial lawyers in action. Rogge is one of the best.”


—Joe Kadow
Former General Counsel, Bloomin’ Brands (Tampa)

“I got to know Rogge the hard way, when I was CEO of Pizza Inn and he was suing our company over a change in control lawsuit I inherited. Rogge’s tenacious, bulldog approach impressed me then.  Later, I twice hired him to help me with various C-level legal issues. Rogge’s extensive experience handling major issues for franchisors and entrepreneurs is invaluable; his restaurant experience is a plus. Every CEO, entrepreneur and business owner needs someone like Rogge in their corner.  I have never hesitated to recommend Rogge to other C-level execs.”


-Tim Taft
Former CEO of Whataburger and CEO of Pizza Inn (Dallas)

“Patrick represents our organization in the fight against the high-speed rail. I’ve seen him work in just about every setting imaginable. I’ve watched him in court. I’ve been to meetings with him at The White House and U.S. Dept. of Transportation. I’ve seen him testify before the Texas Legislature. I’ve read the briefs he drafted in our court cases and federal agency proceedings. Regardless of the task, Patrick is always prepared and always delivers. He is a highly intelligent, hardworking, passionate lawyer who truly cares about his clients. We are extremely fortunate to have him on our team.”


– Kyle Workman
Chairman, Texans Against High Speed Rail, a non-profit organization  (Jewett)

I’ve watched trial lawyers handle high profile cases from the Agent Orange litigation to the Exxon Valdez oil spill trial. Rogge’s the best. Jurors love him.


-George Speckart
Ph.D., Jury Consultant, Courtroom Sciences, Inc. (Langley)

“Rogge, to this day I’m still impressed by our first interaction.  I emailed you on Sunday morning and you responded within minutes.  Not much later you were already attacking the case.  It’s no wonder you were recommended by other attorneys as the best person to retain.  Since I was employed in Puerto Rico, it was comforting to know you were successfully resolving my non-compete issues in Texas.”


– Phil Steuer
Executive (Puerto Rico)

“When a PE firm with an activist investor reputation bought a controlling stake in the company,  I knew I was in for a fight.  They fired me without good cause, triggering my Change in Control  benefits.  They refused to pay my CIC benefits,  falsely accused me of poison pill tactics  and sued me personally for $9.4 million.

Then they waged a PR campaign against me.  Rogge and I fought back and on the morning we started trial,  they settled and paid me $2.8 million—a $12.2 million swing in my favor.  And, my actions and reputation were vindicated in a New York Times article.”


-Ronnie Parker
Former CEO, Pizza Inn (Dallas)

“I tried a case against Rogge in 2016 all the way to a jury verdict. I’ve been trying cases for 20 years; Rogge gave the best and most powerful opening statement I’ve ever seen.”


– Gerry Fowler
Esq., Partner, McGowen & Fowler  (Houston)

“Rogge successfully enforced a non-compete for our company. When the former employee counter-claimed against us, Rogge’s cross-examination at trial destroyed his case and enabled LODESTAR to win a great result.”

“I have worked with some of the top lawyers in New York and Boston.
Rogge’s trial skills are among the best I’ve seen.”


—Lori Lynn
Former VP & Corporate Counsel, LODESTAR Corporation (Boston)

“Due to a historical anachronism, dozens of licensed Peace Officers working for the City were classified as Park Rangers, instead of Dallas Police Officers.  This prevented us from obtaining promotions and other benefits Dallas Police Officer’s enjoyed.

We hired an attorney who filed a class action lawsuit and lost.  We were at wits end when we heard about Rogge.  He took on our case against all odds, tried a new strategy and obtained a tremendous settlement; not only in terms of money, but winning us the opportunity for promotions and other benefits.   On top of that, when the case settled, Rogge reduced his fee.

Rogge represents police, active military and first responders.  He understands what we go through daily and is totally committed to helping first responders in their time of need.

Rogge, I can’t thank you enough for your loyalty and dedication to our group and for the great result you obtained.”


-Nick Novello
Dallas Police Officer (Dallas)

“I got to know Rogge early in his career when I was opposing counsel in an Austin lawsuit.  Rogge impressed me then as someone who creative, hardworking and dedicated to his clients.   Years later we were on opposite sides of a significant case involving invasion of privacy where Rogge obtained a good result for his clients.  If my firm needed a lawyer to defend it, I would hire Rogge.”


-Jim Ewbank
Partner, Cokinis, Bowien & Young (Austin)

“I have been opposite Rogge in protracted litigation and trial. Rogge is a hard fighter, a tireless advocate, and a consummate professional.  During the trial in which we were against each other, he related well to New Orleans jurors.  Since that case, I have referred clients to Rogge and continually receive positive reports on The Rogge Dunn Group.  Rogge is a trial lawyer who will not blink, will always be prepared, and takes pride in getting solid results.”


-William Kelly, Esq.
Managing Partner of Kelly & Walker, LLC (New Orleans)

“Rogge did an excellent job of representing me and assisting Tech in winning the Coach Mike Leach lawsuit.”


—Guy Bailey
Former President, Texas Tech University (Lubbock)
