The "Local, Local Rules" Advantage

SBPS's attorneys have forged their extensive local connections with dedication, time and effort. The firm prides itself on its knowledge of the "local, local rules."

The "local, local rules" cannot be taught in law school or in a seminar. These are the customs and practices of particular courts that are inherent, historical and can only be learned through longevity and experience practicing in the particular local area.

Knowledge of these local practices, ("Local, Local Rules"), extensive local courtroom experience and attention to custom often ease the course of litigation. By actively cultivating and incorporating this knowledge into their practice and conduct, SBPS's lawyers have developed a reputation for effectiveness and trustworthiness in the local and regional legal community.

SBPS firmly believes in being an active part of the communities it serves. The partners’ families include East Texas pioneer families and SBPS attorneys regularly serve on local, regional and state government councils, boards and commissions. These relationships within the communities SBPS serves establish trust, as well as demonstrate the attorneys' personal understanding of the area and strong roots throughout the region.
