J.T. Borah

For over three decades, JT has stood firmly on one side: yours. Not the insurance company's. Not the hospital's. Not the government's. His entire career has been built around protecting individuals and families in their most vulnerable moments.

JT began as a criminal defense attorney, representing clients in matters ranging from traffic violations to federal drug trafficking cases. Over the course of his career, he has taken more than 120 cases — criminal and civil — all the way to jury verdict. That depth of courtroom experience informs everything he does today: the preparation he puts in, the precision he brings, and the resolve to see a case through wherever it leads.

Today, JT's practice is devoted exclusively to serious medical malpractice and nursing home negligence cases throughout Texas. He represents patients and families who have been harmed by preventable errors — missed diagnoses, surgical failures, and systemic breakdowns in hospital and long-term care settings.  JT focuses on serious neglect: situations involving significant injury, rapid decline, or wrongful death caused by clear failures in care and accountability — not minor grievances, but cases where the system genuinely failed a vulnerable person.

These cases are rarely straightforward. Medical records are dense, institutions are defensive, and explanations often shift. Working alongside qualified medical and nursing experts, JT is able to cut through the noise by reconstructing what actually happened and identifying exactly where — and why — care fell short.

What distinguishes JT is his deliberate focus. He does not handle car accidents, slip-and-fall claims, workers' compensation, or family law matters. His practice exists for one purpose: medical malpractice and nursing home negligence in Texas. That singular focus allows him to bring a level of depth and readiness that generalist firms cannot replicate.

His expertise has made him a sought-after voice in the field. He presents at medical malpractice seminars nationwide and has been recognized by Super Lawyers and Austin Monthly as a top plaintiff medical malpractice attorney. He has served on multiple Bill Review Committees for the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, taken on legislative projects aimed at preserving the rights of malpractice victims, and testified before both the Texas House and Senate on patient safety and medical accountability. Lawmakers have consulted him directly in drafting healthcare legislation.

Perhaps the most telling measure of JT's standing: other attorneys refer cases to him — including attorneys who defend the very claims he litigates. So do legislators and professionals who understand exactly what these cases demand.
