About

Our firm has its roots in the legacy of nationally renowned attorneys Johnny Ward, Bruce Smith, and Wesley Hill. First established to serve plaintiffs in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits, the firm’s record of courtroom success led to a growing body of work in complex cases in a range of practice areas and venues across the state and particularly in the Eastern District of Texas, which became known as a jurisdiction for high-profile intellectual property litigation. 

The importance and challenges of the work of Ward, Smith & Hill also attracted a growing number of experienced litigators who were eager to practice in this environment; learn from the best; and establish their own reputations for diligent preparation, strategic legal counsel, and skill in the courtroom. 

With the support and direction of the firm’s founders, this is the team that established Miller Fair Henry. Still centered on commercial and intellectual property litigation, our firm also offers alternative dispute resolution in complex cases and personal legal services to members of our community. We are proud of the firm’s history and are dedicated to carrying on its legacy.
