Bill Schwyhart
Staring down an adversary with unlimited resources and a bench full of trial lawyers, I needed help in the worst way in an incredibly complex business dispute. I had to find the best lawyers I could to help me win the fight of my life. I searched across the country with every connection I had. After talking with Chris and Jack, I knew I found the people who I could trust. Their work changed my life forever.

Chris and Jack handled our case flawlessly from start to finish. The only thing that exceeded their mastery of the laws and facts of our case was their tenacity. It's almost incomprehensible: we went from being nearly forced into a judgment of over $300,000 to not only owing nothing but having the other side pay us. Their creative vision proved the concept to me that the best defense in a lawsuit can indeed be a great offense if you pick Chris to set the course.

Dan Wood
“Lots of folks encourage you to stand up for principle. Where are those same people four years later when the professional battle continues, with no end in sight? Who has the energy and willingness to never let up, never back down and bring the same intensity every day? Chris did that for me. When quitting seemed easy, Chris encouraged me, promising not to leave me by myself. There is no one else I want in the foxhole with me than him, day or night, good or bad, simple or complex. He's my guy.”

James Henrise
“As a police officer, when my retirement, lifelong professional reputation and personal life were on the line, I literally could not afford to lose. It was Chris and Jack who were willing to walk with me on an uphill fight, to say the least. The commitment and respect of their peers and judges helped me win and get the resolution and vindication I badly needed.”

“My wife was killed at the age of 22 in a car accident when I was only 25. Chris Ayres worked tirelessly for me and was fearless in court. When we won the verdict that made responsible parties finally be held accountable, there were tears in his eyes and mine. I finally got the closure I needed to move forward with life. Chris, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“Jack Ayres is a formidable attorney for his clients, but he is also a communitarian and a person interested in personal and social justice. Jack Ayres became a volunteer at Parkland in a very special role and now for over 30 years, he continues assisting us in getting court orders for patients that need treatment, saving hundreds of patients who might otherwise have died or suffered a disability. Jack did all of this pro bono. Chris has followed in his father's footsteps as an attorney, communitarian, and advocate for the vulnerable. These gentlemen are excellent attorneys with the energy to match their intellect.”

“When the bell rings, we, as firefighters respond. No hesitation. We just go. The Ayres responded, just like that, for me in my case. After watching Chris and Jack, I was glad they were on my side and not against me. They defended me by taking the battle to my opponent. I could not have imagined a better result.”

“During my time as a state district court judge, I observed hundreds of attorneys in court. Chris Ayres is as good as it gets. His reputation among the judges is superior. He has earned his professional reputation by combining the right mix of aggressive advocacy and candor that produces results.

“I got hit by a tractor-trailer that weighed 77 tons and was traveling well over the speed limit. The effects of the accident destroyed my life as I knew it. Chris found me justice through a rigorous and seamless jury trial. While I never want to see a courtroom again, if I'm ever forced into one, it won't be without Chris.”

“During my career, I have had the privilege of trying cases with some exceptional trial lawyers. Without a doubt, Chris and Jack Ayres are two of the best trial lawyers in Texas. The depth of their knowledge, with regard to both procedure and substantive law, is unmatched, in my judgment. But, even more than their understanding of the law, is their sincere passion for helping their clients that truly identifies who they are.”

“During my 31+ years as a commercial trial lawyer, I have never encountered a better trial lawyer than Jack Ayres. It is very rare to see all of the qualities of a great trial advocate in a single lawyer, but that is exactly what we get with Jack. I am happy to report that Chris Ayres makes an undeniable case that these qualities are indeed genetic!”

I have worked with them on a number of cases and have, in fact, had them represent me. I can tell you they do a great service to their clients.”
