Brian Singleterry

Brian Singleterry is a trial lawyer with experience handling complex litigation in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts, both in Texas and nationwide. A first-generation college graduate, Brian graduated first in his law-school class and, before joining Haynes Boone, cut his teeth as a lawyer serving as a prosecutor, plaintiffs’ lawyer, and law clerk. These experiences shaped his perspective, teaching him the value of avoiding litigation when possible, and the skills to succeed in litigation when it is necessary.

Brian’s practice focuses on representing clients in commercial litigation, including breach-of-contract disputes, business torts, fiduciary and financial litigation, insurance-recovery actions, and bankruptcy litigation. Much of his experience relates to disputes between business partners, LLC members, and other business relationships. Brian enjoys distilling complex issues and facts into easy-to-understand stories and arguments.

Brian is committed to being active in the bar and his community. The recipient of the Tarrant County Bar Association’s 2023 Outstanding Young Lawyer Award, Brian has served many roles in the legal community, including president of the Tarrant County Young Lawyers Association, chair of the Tarrant County Bar Association’s Business Litigation Section, and a Sustaining Life Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation. He has also defended many clients pro bono against evictions and organized a program for lawyers and judges to teach civics to high school students. Outside of work, Brian (tries to) runs half marathons, reads history, and spends time with his wife and two daughters.
