08.05.2021

Sheehy, Ware, Pappas & Grubbs, P.C. is proud to announce its new name. The Texas-based law firm, which until recently was known as Sheehy, Ware & Pappas, P.C., changed its name to reflect the significant, ongoing contributions of Shareholder Steven O. Grubbs, Esq., who serves as the firm’s Managing Shareholder.

Mr. Grubbs, who has been with the firm for 16 years, practices in the areas of General Litigation, OSHA, Insurance Law, Transportation and Trucking, General Liability, Dram-Shop, Employers Liability, Energy and Petrochemical, and Construction Litigation.

A top litigator for more than 20 years, Mr. Grubbs has considerable first-chair trial experience in the State and Federal Courts and before the Texas Courts of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Texas.

Early in his career, he focused on defending doctors and nurses in medical malpractice cases. Over the years, he has expanded his practice to a variety of disciplines including construction fatalities, trucking, premises liability, construction defects and commercial matters. Few lawyers in the state, or perhaps the country, can rival his experience in OSHA litigation. Mr. Grubbs has handled more than 300 OSHA investigations for employers across a broad spectrum of industries and tried more than 40 cases to verdicts with impressive results. He also has applied his deep expertise in insurance law to handle hundreds of first-party and third-party liability insurance matters for a variety of clients. Mr. Grubbs is Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

“Steven has been instrumental in spearheading the growth of our OSHA and Insurance Law practices and our firm as a whole by diligently providing clients with excellent service and results,” says Shareholder George Pappas. “His leadership and commitment to helping clients achieve their goals are important reasons why our clients trust us to handle their matters effectively and professionally and why so many clients refer us to others.”

“I am extremely proud to have my name added to the firm’s name,” Mr. Grubbs said. “I look forward to collaborating with the other shareholders and our entire team to continue providing our clients with the results they expect from our firm.”

Established in 1985, the growing firm of Sheehy, Ware, Pappas & Grubbs handles matters in virtually every area of civil litigation. The firm, which is Texas-based and has a national reach, recently opened its fifth Texas office, in Austin. The other offices are in Houston, Dallas, Galveston and San Antonio.
