20 Years. 50+ Trials. One Standard: Win.
Jimmy Ardoin built his career on one principle: show up and fight, no matter what.
For more than 20 years, Jimmy has tried cases across state and federal courts nationwide — more than 50 jury trials in courtrooms from Houston to federal districts across the country. He is admitted in all four federal districts in Texas and before the 5th and 4th Circuit Courts of Appeals.
For twenty years, Jimmy has tried cases on both sides of the courtroom — as plaintiff counsel for injury victims and families, and as defense counsel in complex federal criminal cases. That experience shapes how every case is built: he understands how the other side thinks, because he has spent years on that side too.
He has defended clients in complex federal prosecutions involving healthcare fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, international sanctions, and export violations — in the Southern District of Texas and in courts across the country. On the civil side, he has delivered significant results for catastrophic injury victims and business fraud plaintiffs, including a $10 million jury verdict in a business fraud case he took over just four weeks before trial.
