Roy B. Longacre, a Board-Certified Attorney in both Personal Injury and Civil Trial Law, has vigorously represented his clients in courtrooms across the State of Texas in a variety of litigation. Recognized as a Texas Super Lawyer by Thomas Reuters from 2014-2020, Mr. Longacre represents clients in personal injury/wrongful death cases, contract disputes, insurance related matters, estate disputes, oil and gas litigation, and other civil litigation.

Mr. Longacre recently successfully defended the will of a deceased sister who left her estate, including a large ranch, to her surviving sister. He also recently settled a dispute on behalf of a client whose insurance company denied coverage for a loss, the denial of which would have cost the client his business. He regularly represents three major insurance companies and their insureds against personal injury and wrongful death claims.

In the past few years, Mr. Longacre’s litigation practice has included several estate disputes, oil and gas disputes, and contract disputes, along with his usual personal injury/wrongful death practice. He believes that his litigation experience and skills lend themselves to any dispute which might end up in the courtroom.

Outside of his law practice, Mr. Longacre enjoys being with his wife, Sandy, his three sons and their families, and his six grandchildren. He also spends time serving his church in numerous capacities, including being a deacon and church trustee.
