About Aaron Dekle
Aaron Dekle came to the firm in 2023 after several years as a Texas civil litigator handling business disputes, labor and employment matters, and personal injury cases on both sides of the docket, with results ranging from multimillion-dollar settlements to dispositive-motion wins. A Dallas-area native, he graduated summa cum laude from Pensacola Christian College in 2015 and finished third in his class at Baylor Law School in 2019, where he served as senior technical editor of the Baylor Law Review and interned for a federal magistrate judge in the Western District of Texas. He is admitted in Texas and all four of the state's federal district courts, with recognition from Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch and the Texas Rising Stars list.
Proven verdicts and settlements
Charles Payne Sr., 75, died after an HPD patrol car driven by Officer Christopher Cabrera struck his vehicle on North Shepherd Drive in Houston on December 26, 2021. A federal jury found in November 2025 that the City of Houston was deliberately indifferent in adopting an inadequate policy that let officers drive recklessly. It awarded $13 million to his family. The city's new-trial motion was denied and its appeal to the Fifth Circuit is pending.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
