About Ted
Ted Liggett trained in Texas lawrooms and classrooms. He earned a Bachelor of Science in political science and English from Southern Methodist University in 1989, then a Juris Doctor from Texas Tech University School of Law in 1991. He is licensed to practice in Texas.
His early professional path led him into private practice. In 1999 he became a partner at Smith & Liggett, P.C., a role that placed him squarely in courtroom practice and client counseling. A year later he served as personal lawyer for Mike Leach, a public figure whose legal needs required both discretion and practical problem-solving. In 2009 he established Liggett Law Group and has led that firm since.
Those career stops map a steady progression from associate to partner to firm founder. They also suggest experience in high-stakes matters and trial work. Liggett’s memberships reflect that trajectory. He holds membership in the American Board of Trial Advocates and the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, organizations that center on litigation and courtroom advocacy.
Liggett is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Membership in those groups typically indicates involvement in cases that reached significant verdicts or settlements. He belongs to the Texas Bar Foundation as well, which connects lawyers who contribute to the legal community through service, scholarship, or notable practice.
Colleagues and court files show a lawyer who has balanced trial practice with the management demands of running a firm. As founder and owner of Liggett Law Group, he has handled case strategy, client intake, and the administrative work that keeps a litigation practice moving. The shift from partner to firm owner required different skills. He moved from joint decision-making to overseeing a practice and directing client matters on his own terms.
Liggett’s professional profile is public and straightforward. He maintains active memberships in professional groups that signal courtroom experience and recognized results. He has worked for private clients and operated his own firm for more than a decade.
He currently practices through Liggett Law Group in Texas, where his work centers on civil litigation and trial matters.
