About Patrick Yarborough

I love trying cases for clients in technology, real estate, oil-and-gas, medicine, finance, trucking, and shipping.I am a proven trial lawyer whose record reflects decisive victories at every stage of litigation. Time and again, my team has prevailed when the stakes were high—securing a total defense verdict in “60 seconds” in a sexual harassment case (with Sanja Muranovic and Luke Ott), a confidential seven-figure international arbitration award (with Luke Ott), a $3.4 million arbitration award, a $1.4 million arbitration award, seven appeals, two pretrial dismissals, a “walk away” settlement for 11 defendants with no counterclaims on the first day of trial (with Ben Foster and Web Beard), a complete defense verdict on behalf of three former directors of a property owners’ association (with Michael Killingsworth), and \"unsubstantiated\" findings in numerous internal investigations. I also serve on the Plaintiffs’ Interim Steering Committee of the In re Meta Pixel Tax Filing Cases and am jointly prosecuting the Google Analytics Tax Filing Cases.I am a go-to local partner for Texas data-privacy cases. My firm settled multiple data-breach class actions in both Texas state and federal courts last year alone. I also regularly split fees with plaintiffs’ lawyers to enforce their Texas state-court judgments, including in a $1 million recovery less than 30 days after entering my appearance in the case.I cut my teeth at one of the country\'s premier litigation boutiques, and before that, I clerked for U.S. District Judge Mark E. Fuller for in Alabama and Chief Justice Nathan L. Hecht at the Supreme Court of Texas. If you need a trial lawyer for your business dispute or a Texas partner for your class-action case, reach out to me at p••••••@fosteryarborough.com.
