Mr. Felton has always been one to take on big insurance companies like Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, and State Farm.  His landmark Texas Supreme Court case, Arnold v. National County Mutual Fire Ins. Co., established the law of bad faith in Texas.  That case established that an insurance company owes its insured a duty of good faith and fair dealing.  The Supreme Court ruled that an insured may sue their insurance company if the insurance company does not treat the policyholder fairly.

Mr. Felton is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.  Membership in the Forum is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.   Fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members. Mr. Felton says, however, “You shouldn’t have to have a million dollar case to have a million dollar lawyer!”

Mr. Felton is now taking on insurance companies to recover homeowners’ damages caused by Hurricane Ike.  He is a leading advocate for policyholders, and approaches every case with careful attention to detail and dedication to excellence.
