Partner

Ames is a litigator who joined B&H in 2020 after an eight–year stint as in–house counsel for a healthcare company. He has tried jury trials and bench trials in state and federal courts across Texas. Ames’ focus is commercial litigation in the areas of real property rights, business and insurance disputes, and personal injury.

A native of Dallas, Ames graduated cum laude from Washington and Lee University (BA, History). He then worked as a legal assistant at a prominent Dallas law firm before attending law school at the University of Texas. After obtaining his law license, Ames spent thirteen years in private law practice, handling all aspects of civil litigation matters in the areas of insurance defense, personal injury, employment, and general commercial litigation, including trying multiple cases to verdict. He then transitioned to an in-house counsel role for the largest operator of short–stay surgical facilities in the country, where he started as a corporate generalist and ultimately came to oversee all litigation matters for the company. 

Ames is a long–time volunteer for Carry The Load, a non–profit dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of military and first responder heroes, and he spent fifteen years as Class Agent for Washington and Lee. He is a former youth sports coach and avid high school football fan. Ames and his wife also spent five years as the parent advisors of their sons’ high school football teams.
