Britta Stanton
Britta Stanton is a trial lawyer with over 21 years of experience and an outstanding track record of trying cases in state and federal courts across the country. Britta joined the firm in 2003 and the partnership in 2011. After a brief time honing her trial skills as a trial consultant, she rejoined LPHS as a partner in 2022.
Because of her reputation as a strong, trial-ready lawyer, her opposition knows she is not afraid to go to trial, meaning her clients have an edge in settlement negotiations. Her clients call her their “go-to lawyer” for solving problems in business.
On top of her extensive trial experience, Britta is also a skilled visual communicator. She recently spent time at a trial strategy advisory firm assisting attorneys in selecting juries, crafting narratives, and consulting on courtroom techniques. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Communications from the University of Texas.
Britta believes courtroom success is achieved when an attorney takes the time to listen and master the facts of each case. Because of this, her clients and their employees trust her, allowing her to learn the "story" of each case. She pieces this story together through the discovery process and uses that narrative to connect with the jury.
Britta is an active member of First United Methodist Church in downtown Dallas. She has served in the Patrick E. Higginbotham American Inn of Court and as chair for the Advisory Committee for the Northern District of Texas courts. She is married and has four children.
