E. Armistead (Armi) Easterby – Attorney
“I always wanted to be a lawyer as long as I can remember.” Armi Easterby has been an attorney with Williams Kherkher since 2005 but he has had the ambition to practice much longer. “I remember seeing Paul Newman in “The Verdict” when I was 12 and it made a big impression on me, particularly how one person could beat an entire team of lawyers. I identified with that and it stayed with me.”
After graduating from the University of Texas in Austin, Armi became a student at the University of Houston Law Center where he graduated cum laude and was an editor for the Houston Law Review.
Armi’s early career started at a Texas-based law firm defending large corporations in litigation. Armi discovered that defending wrongdoers was not for him, and began working exclusively on Plaintiff’s cases. “I was fortunate that at my prior firm the partners had an open mind about taking Plaintiff cases on a contingent-fee basis.” Armi was a partner and shareholder at his prior firm before joining Williams Kherkher.
Armi currently practices environmental, commercial, patent infringement, trade secret, and consumer litigation. Most of his cases center on situations where a small company or inventor has been treated unfairly by a larger company. “The “David and Goliath” theme is almost always present in my cases,” Armi says. “Time and time again I have seen the civil justice system as the only recourse my clients have and this is what motivates me; working to see our civil justice system preserved and maintained. Without it the little guy gets run over.”
Armi is now heavily-involved in environmental cases, including the Gulf Oil Spill, MTBE contamination, lead contamination, and others. “What we are seeing is more and more situations where small communities are being negatively impacted by contaminants, and the polluters don’t accept responsibility.”
Armi’s passion for justice is also the passion of Williams Kherkher Hart Boundas Law Firm, LLP. who for over 25 years has pursued justice and a fair shake for all its clients.
“In other firms clients are seen in terms of billable hours, not in terms of people with problems that need help. Williams Kherkher is different in that the people here actually care about the client. You see it in the little things, such as how our staff interacts with people. The culture here is that the client is part of our extended family.”
