Brown, Cahill & Macerola PLLC - was created by three South Texas College of Law graduates. Early in law school we worked together to found the South Texas Criminal Justice Project. While managing the South Texas Criminal Justice Project we coordinated the largest National Innocence Project Conference with over 400 attendees including over 100 exonerees. While in law school we had a vision. A vision to provide affordable legal assistance to everyday citizens. In January of 2010 this vision became a reality: Brown, Cahill & Macerola PLLC was formed. Currently, our law firm has helped numerous individuals in both felony and misdemeanor courts. While we are constantly growing, it is our mission to maintain affordable representation to those who need it the most. While we practice law everyday, we haven’t forgot where we came from. Zinn Brown and Daniel Cahill are currently working with the South Texas Criminal Justice Project. These efforts are led by their desire to provide meaningful opportunities to current law students, similar to those experienced by Zinn and Daniel during law school. Currently Gianpaolo “GP” Macerola is member of the Board of Directors for the Innocence Project of Texas which has helped in over 30 Texas exoneration’s. He also finds time to help the future lawyers of Texas by teaching at South Texas College of Law.

JAMES M. BRIGHT - Located in Houston, Texas. Serving Harris/Montgomery and surrounding counties with quality legal representation in the areas of business law, business litigation and other select areas of civil litigation.
No business seems to attract controversy more than the construction industry. Litigation may involve contracts or defects, but a large percentage of construction litigation involves the filing or defense of Mechanic/ Materialman liens. These liens fall into three main categories: 1. Private jobs controlled by V.T.C.A., Property Code -Chapter 53. 2. Public jobs controlled by the McGregor Act. 3. Federal jobs which are controlled by the Miller Act. This firm, while having experience with both the McGregor Act and Miller Act, has concentrated more of it's of time and attention to private jobs. Enforceability of liens and indeed even the validity of those liens requires special attention to the classification of the claimant as an owner, original contractor or sub-contractor/materialman.
