Tom McDade has been declared a legal “Legend” by the Dallas Times Herald, “Mattox v. McDade: Tough Legends Collide” (August 14, 1983). 

Tom has the presence and confidence of a man who knows how to get things done in the law. His esteemed almost 60-year career has involved him in virtually every type of case not only in Texas, but throughout the country. Tom is willing to do whatever his clients’ success demands, having fought big business, gone to battle for families and individuals, and served his country as a fighter pilot and officer in the United States Air Force.

Lawyers frequently have Tom appear as an expert witness in legal malpractice cases and cases involving attorneys’ fees. He is experienced in Alternative Dispute Resolution and has served numerous court appointments and party agreements as arbitrator (both neutral and party appointed) and as a mediator.

Tom was a senior partner at Fulbright & Jaworski and a member of the Senior Advisory Committee. After 30 years, Tom left Fulbright & Jaworski to help form McDade Fogler, LLP, where he practiced for over 15 years prior to joining Beck Redden.
