About Scott D.
Scott D. Weber is a distinguished trial lawyer and partner at Husch Blackwell LLP, located at 1900 N Pearl St Ste 1800 in Dallas, Texas. He has been a member of the State Bar of Texas since 1989, marking over three decades of legal expertise. Weber earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in the same year he joined the bar. Prior to his legal education, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in History from Columbia University in 1986, which laid a strong foundation for his analytical skills in law.
During his time in law school, Weber gained inexperience by clerking for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. This position allowed him to observe the details of federal court proceedings, enhancing his understanding of litigation processes. Today, his practice primarily focuses on trust, estate, and fiduciary litigation, where he navigates complex legal issues involving contested wills, allegations of undue influence, and questions of competency. His cases often involve intricate estates that may fund multiple trusts or require delicate family negotiations.
Weber’s approach to litigation is comprehensive—cases typically progress from initial filing through various stages, including discovery, mediation, and, when necessary, trial. His experience in these areas allows him to effectively advocate for his clients, ensuring their interests are represented throughout the legal process. Before joining Husch Blackwell in 2023, he was the managing partner of a boutique probate litigation firm in Dallas, where he developed his skills in a specialized setting. In addition to his practice, Weber has contributed to legal education as an adjunct professor of Trial Advocacy at Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law. His involvement in the legal community extends to the Dallas Bar Association, where he served as Chair of the Probate, Trusts & Estates Section from 2016 to 2017.
His dedication to the field is further exemplified by his status as a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC), a prestigious organization that recognizes excellence in the practice of trust and estate law. Weber's professional accolades are numerous. Since 2006, he has been recognized as a "Texas Super Lawyer" by Texas Monthly Magazine and has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America since 2008. Notably, he was named "Lawyer of the Year" for Litigation – Trusts and Estates in Dallas/Fort Worth by Best Lawyers in both 2015 and 2022. Fluent in English and conversational in Spanish, Weber is well-equipped to serve clients, making him a prominent figure in the legal field of Texas.
