P Michael Jung

Practice Areas

Michael Jung represents clients in all industries in appellate matters in state and federal courts. He also handles zoning, land use, and election law matters on behalf of governmental and private clients.

Michael helps clients navigate the appeals process from beginning to end, handling appeals in cases referred to the firm as well as cases handled at the trial-court level by other Clark Hill attorneys. He assists trial lawyers with discovery issues, dispositive motions, jury instructions, and post-trial motions. He consults on trial-court cases or appeals being handled by other firms and also helps with post-trial mediation and other settlement activities. Additionally, Michael prepares “friend of the court” briefs in important cases.

He is comfortable with whatever role best suits the client’s needs, ranging from standby consultation with trial counsel to working as part of a multi-firm team of lawyers to independent pursuit of a complete appeal.

Michael brings four decades of experience in appellate and law-intensive trial court litigation to the solution of clients’ problems. He has argued more than 220 cases on appeal, including 26 in the Supreme Court of Texas and 42 in the U.S. Fifth Circuit. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers and is board-certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Michael also helps clients navigate governmental-law issues pending before government bodies and courts. These include zoning and land use matters and issues relating to partisan and non-partisan elections.
