Brent Goudarzi is one of the founding forces behind Goudarzi & Young, LLP, a firm based-out of Longview in Texas well-known in the area particularly for their personal injury law services. Admitted to practice in the state since 1997, he has represented several thousand clients before all the state courts and federal courts in Texas, including the United States District Courts for the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas.
Devoted to protecting the rights of the people in his community, Mr. Goudarzi extends his service to all who are victims of catastrophic injuries such as auto negligence, truck accidents, product liability, premises liability and workplace injuries. He understands that even a minor negligence from a third party, whether be in the manufacturing a product or a motor vehicle accident, might be life-altering for the victim, resulting in both physical injuries and mental trauma and unaccounted additional expenses. He strives to get the maximum compensation that his party deserves for all that they had to endure, including loss of income and any disfigurement or damages caused during the accident.
After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree from the Texas Tech University in 1993, Mr. Goudarzi earned his Juris Doctor from the university’s School of Law in 1996. Right after graduating from the university, he co-founded the firm in 1997, and since then has tried cases across Texas and obtained numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts on behalf of his clients. Recently, in 2021, he made history by obtaining a hefty amount of $730 million dollars as a settlement for a trucking accident case, which to date, still stands as the largest trucking verdict in the country.
Recognized and praised for his quality of legal services provided to his clients, Mr. Goudarzi has been honored by multiple organizations, including being included in The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 list and was a proud recipient of the Trial Lawyers Board of Regents Litigator Awards. He is also an eminent member of various professional organizations such as the National Association of Distinguished Counsel and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
