Mary Allen Ramprasad is an attorney at The Cole Law Firm, in Houston, Texas, where she passionately advocates for those who have been silenced or wronged. Her legal practice encompasses a variety of challenging areas, including catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, workplace accidents and injuries from hazardous products. She is committed to ensuring that her clients receive vigilant and empathetic representation, especially given her own experiences as a plaintiff. Her dedication is evident in her promise to make every client feel understood and supported throughout the litigation process.
Admitted to practice in Florida since 2016, Washington, D.C., since 2017, and Texas since 2019, Ms. Ramprasad graduated with a J.D./D.C.L. from Louisiana State University’s Paul M. Hebert Law Center. She has also secured a bachelor’s degree in media/communication studies and political science from Florida State University.
In 2009, as the student body president, Ms. Ramprasad was banned from delivering her graduation speech due to concerns it might violate a recent consent decree by the school board. This incident not only introduced her to the complexities of legal restrictions but also ignited her passion for law. After a challenging two-year litigation against the school district, which ultimately settled in her favor, she was inspired by the profound impact attorneys can have on individual lives and policies.
Ms. Ramprasad is an active member of numerous professional associations, including the American Bar Association, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and the National Trial Lawyers, where she has been recognized among the Top 40 Under 40. She is also a part of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, reflecting her success in securing significant settlements for her clients.
With her commitment extending beyond the courtroom, Ms. Ramprasad participates in pro bono activities with organizations like Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas and American Gateways. Additionally, she holds a certification as a guardian ad litem, advocating for children’s rights in legal proceedings.

- Being a lawyer means more than courtroom advocacy. Whether it is navigating a case, the office, the courtroom or the Capitol, our members want and need skills and tools to give them an edge. The TTLA Advocates Committee Board of Directors is proud to announce a program to help attorneys build these key leadership skills and capabilities. Centered around the key areas of Leadership, Execution, Accountability and Development, the LEAD Academy is not technical, legal or legislative training. Rather, it is designed to help members become leaders within their firm, TTLA, other legal associations and our communities, TTLA LEAD Academy, https://www.ttla.com/?pg=TTLALEADAcademy, 2023
- Created in 2008 by then State Bar President Harper Estes, LeadershipSBOT is designed to increase diverse leadership participation within the legal community through the nomination of lawyers who possess both the desire and the potential to assume leadership roles in their communities and the State Bar of Texas. Central to the program’s mission is ensuring that participant demographics represent the diversity of the State of Texas — culturally, ethnically, geographically, and in practice area. LeadershipSBOT participants will examine what is expected of leaders and, with the advice and guidance of current leaders, discover how to best engage in public involvement to be effective in the profession and in the community. The yearlong program consists of two training sessions and concludes with the presentation of group projects during the State Bar Annual Meeting, LeadershipSBOT, https://www.texasbar.com/Content/NavigationMenu/ForLawyers/BarServiceOpportunities/FindDiversityResources/LeadershipSBOT.htm, 2022
