Effective November 15, 2025, Chad retired from his litigation practice with us and is no longer with Miller Fair Henry PLLC. For personal correspondence, he can be reached at chad@everinghampc.com
Although he is no longer actively practicing, Chad’s career reflects decades of respected work as a judge and trial lawyer.
In his most recent role with Miller Fair Henry, Chad served as Of Counsel. The former magistrate judge in the Eastern District of Texas valued practicing with lawyers he had admired for years, including his mentor, Judge T. John Ward. Early in his career, Chad served as Judge Ward’s permanent law clerk, and later worked with what he described as the best legal team imaginable.
As a judge and trial attorney, Chad built a practice focused on complex patent litigation, intellectual property matters, and commercial cases, earning a reputation as one of the best lawyers in these fields. After overseeing one of the busiest patent litigation courts, his transition back to private practice gave clients a valuable perspective from both sides of the bench.
Chad now enjoys spending his time supporting his wife’s service as the Executive Director of CASA of Harrison County and watching his children grow into their careers as they mature into young adults. A music enthusiast, Chad’s love for playing guitar matches his dedication to the law, and he can often be found learning new songs or spending time on the water, either fishing or boating.
