After 22 years, Robert Aldrich has returned to his roots at Cantey Hanger LLP, the first law firm he worked with after obtaining his law degree.
Aldrich earned his Bachelor’s of Business Administration in 1975 from Texas Christian University and his law degree in 1978 from St. Mary’s University.
After two years with the Tarrant County District Attorney’s office, Aldrich began his 11-year career with Cantey Hanger.
He then left the firm to form Gardner Aldrich LLP with Terry Gardner.
Now, after 22 years he is back at Cantey Hanger, re-joining as a partner.
“Robert’s experience and expertise are a real plus to our litigation practice,” said Jordan Parker, chairman of the firm’s Litigation Section, in a news release. “His diverse docket and his ability and desire to mentor younger lawyers will help our mission to grow the firm while we celebrate our 135th anniversary.”
When not practicing, Aldrich webcasts real-time weather reports for Possum Kingdom Lake from his lake house’s weather station.
Aldrich holds Texas Board of Legal Specialization certifications in Civil Trial Law and Personal Injury Trial Law. According to the release, Aldrich has tried cases on both sides of the docket, from death and serious bodily injury, to commercial fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and real estate disputes. Additionally, he has done some work in divorce actions.
His work has been recognized year after year as he has been named a “Super Lawyer” annually since 2003.
Outside of the work he has done on the docket, Aldrich has a history of giving back to the law community by serving with the Tarrant County Bar Association. He was a board member from 2006-2012 and president for the 2011-2012 term. He also served as Director of District 7 for the State Bar of Texas from 2012-2015.
Additionally, he holds memberships with the Tarrant County Family Bar Association, the Tarrant County Trial Lawyers Association, the American Board of Trial Advocates – where he served as Fort Worth chapter president in 2015 and 2016 – and is a Life Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation.
