    Ronnie Vickery helps utilities and condemning authorities acquire easements, rights-of-way and other property rights to keep infrastructure projects moving across Texas. With deep roots in the state and decades of experience in local courts, Ronnie represents clients in landowner negotiations, condemnation proceedings and special commissioners’ hearings for time-sensitive projects that cross multiple private properties.

    A civil litigator for more than 30 years, Ronnie has handled more than 20 jury trials and represented both plaintiffs and defendants in insurance, injury, commercial and other disputes. His experience on both sides of a conflict helps him anticipate opposing arguments, assess where disputes may be headed and identify opportunities to resolve them.
