Trial Lawyers Built for the Hardest Cases.

Billion Dollar Verdicts is the trade name under which James S. Bell, P.C. — a Texas professional corporation — represents the catastrophically injured and the wrongfully harmed. Our practice focuses on automotive accidents, commercial trucking and 18-wheeler collisions, rideshare crashes, workplace and industrial injuries, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury cases.

We were built on a simple idea: the firms willing to try a case get the best results — every time. Insurance companies and corporate defendants track which lawyers settle and which lawyers try. When they see ours on the file, they know which kind we are.

Our trial team includes former federal prosecutors, board-experienced civil trial attorneys, and litigators who have appeared in state and federal courts across the country. We are led by James S. Bell, who in 2017 obtained an $8 billion jury verdict against JPMorgan Chase — the largest jury verdict in the United States that year and the 9th largest in American history.

We accept a limited number of cases each year. We do this on purpose. The cases we take get the full force of our trial preparation, our expert network, and our courtroom experience. When we sign your case, you get the firm — not a name on the door.

Behind every case we take is a team of seasoned trial attorneys, paralegals, investigators, and expert consultants at James S. Bell, P.C., working under the Billion Dollar Verdicts trade name. Our attorneys collectively bring experience as:

• ▸Former federal prosecutors and Assistant U.S. Attorneys
• ▸Civil trial attorneys with state and federal trial experience across multiple jurisdictions
• ▸Litigators trained at top American law schools
• ▸Counsel in cases reaching the U.S. Supreme Court
• ▸Trial lawyers who have collectively handled hundreds of jury trials, bench trials, and arbitrations

Every case we accept is staffed for trial from day one. That posture — being trial-ready before the first deposition — is why our cases resolve favorably whether they settle or whether we take them to verdict.
