Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP informally began in a small study room at the University of Houston Law Center in 2011. After realizing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, Scott Armstrong, Josh Lee, and Megan Savage decided that banding together was the key to success. And succeed they did: after their first semester of law school, they took the highest grades in each of their first-semester classes: Scott in Contracts, Josh in Civil Procedure and Megan in Torts.

Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP in 2017
Although they dreamed of eventually transitioning from study partners to business partners, they each went their separate ways after graduating from law school to gain experience in different areas of law. Scott began a litigation practice focusing on personal injury at some of the best plaintiff’s firms in Texas where he gained significant experience representing those injured by the negligence of others. Josh began a career in litigation at a white shoe law firm in New York City where he worked on complex litigation and investigations for some of the largest banks and companies in the world. Megan went on to work in the energy transactions group at Vinson & Elkins in Houston, Texas and assisted clients on bet-the-company deals, gaining insight into the commercial inner workings of the largest energy companies in the world. After Josh returned to Houston in 2015, the dream of starting Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP was reinvigorated and in August 2017, it became a reality.
Now that they are working together again, Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP uses their long history of teamwork and dedication to tirelessly and zealously fight for their clients.
Scott Armstrong obtains remarkable results for his clients. He has successfully tried numerous cases to favorable verdicts and reached significant settlements on his clients’ behalf. In the process, he has recovered millions for his clients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely nothing. At Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP, our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you owe us nothing unless we win your case, whether that’s in the form of a settlement or a judgment. We offer a free consultation to anyone who thinks they might have a personal injury case.
We suggest speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury. Something to keep in mind is that all personal injury cases need evidence, and that evidence often degrades over time. As a result, many jurisdictions have a strict statute of limitations (or time limit) for filing a claim. In Texas, most victims have only two years from the date of injury to file, so it is important to start building your case immediately.
In the state of Texas, employers have the option of filing for workers’ compensation insurance. This policy covers them in case an employee suffers an injury on the job. However, some employers choose to be non-subscribers, which means they opt out of this coverage and lose certain legal protections. This means that if an injured employee sues them after a work injury, they may end up paying more damages. In addition, they may be liable for pain and suffering, punitive damages, and medical benefits. Learn more about non-subscriber injuries here.
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) keeps track of employers that report their non-subscriber status. Currently, you can find a spreadsheet of every reported non-subscriber business in Texas under TDI’s workers’ compensation insurance coverage verification page. This includes the business address, business name, and filing dates. Learn more here.
There are a few different ways to manage your bills while waiting for your case to settle. For medical treatment, it is common to arrange a lien with the doctor’s office or hospital. A medical lien is essentially an agreement to pay back your treatment costs with a portion of your potential settlement. Another option for miscellaneous bills, such as rent, utilities, or other essential expenses, is lawsuit funding. Much like a lien, you pay these loans back with a portion of your settlement or judgment. However, these loans have high interest rates and fees, so be sure to discuss this option with your attorney.
