Havens Law, PLLC: An Undefeated Trial Record, With Employment as One Line of a Broader Plaintiff’s Practice

Christian Havens has not lost a single case in front of a jury — a claim his firm makes directly and one worth naming up front. But like several other firms in this Dallas employment lawyer directory, Havens Law is not a dedicated employment boutique: its practice centers on personal injury and general civil litigation, with employee-side wrongful termination and wage claims as one component of a broader docket.

At a Glance: This Dallas Employment Litigation Attorney’s Credentials

I. From Leading a Litigation Department to Founding His Own Firm

Christian Havens, a Dallas-Fort Worth native and SMU Dedman School of Law graduate, worked at a Dallas litigation firm for several years, where he was quickly tasked with leading the firm’s Civil Litigation Department, before founding Havens Law, PLLC. He describes having litigated hundreds of cases in both Texas state and federal courts and states he has taken multiple cases to jury trial without a loss — a claim Awesome Attorneys could not independently verify against a public case database but which the firm states directly and specifically rather than in vague marketing terms.

II. Practice Concentration

On the employment side specifically, Havens Law states it represents Texas employees who have been wrongfully terminated or denied overtime pay, handling discrimination, retaliation, and Fair Labor Standards Act violation claims. Havens’s own individual professional listings emphasize personal injury, product liability, and medical liability work more heavily than employment specifically, consistent with a generalist plaintiff’s litigation practice where employment is a genuine but secondary line of business.

III. Track Record

Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome. Awesome Attorneys did not locate an employment-specific results table on the firm’s site.

The firm’s headline claim — hundreds of cases litigated, no jury trial losses — is a general litigation claim not broken out by practice area. Awesome Attorneys was unable to independently verify specific employment case outcomes or dollar figures and is disclosing that gap directly rather than filling it with unverified numbers.

IV. Client Voice

A client review on the firm’s site describes a “substantial settlement” and praises Havens as professional, attentive, and having the client’s best interests at heart — though that specific review is attributed to a personal injury accident claim rather than an employment matter. Awesome Attorneys did not locate employment-specific client reviews or an independent aggregated review score during this research.

V. Beyond the Courtroom

Havens received the Outstanding Committee Chair Award from the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers (DAYL) and was selected for the 2025 DAYL Leadership Class. He coaches the UNT Dallas College of Law moot court team and has argued before the Dallas Court of Appeals.

VI. Recognition

D Magazine’s attorney directory lists Havens under Tort (Plaintiff): Personal Injury, Product and Medical Liability rather than an employment-specific category, reflecting where his primary public recognition currently sits. Awesome Attorneys did not identify Super Lawyers selection, Best Lawyers recognition, or board certification for this attorney during this research, nor any marketing-program-only awards.

VII. The Texas Legal Backdrop

Havens Law’s wage-and-hour work runs through the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which carries a two-year limitations period for unpaid overtime claims (three years for willful violations). Its discrimination and retaliation work runs through Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA at the federal level, each generally requiring an EEOC charge before suit, and the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act (Texas Labor Code Chapter 21), which requires a parallel charge with the Texas Workforce Commission’s Civil Rights Division within 180 days of the alleged act.

VIII. Awesome Attorneys Assessment: This Dallas Employment Lawyer’s Strengths and Limits

Havens’s rapid rise to leading a litigation department early in his career, his stated undefeated jury-trial record, and his active leadership in the Dallas young-lawyer community (DAYL Leadership Class, Outstanding Committee Chair Award, moot court coaching) reflect a genuinely engaged and well-regarded young trial lawyer building a practice.

The honest limitation is that employment law is a secondary line within a firm whose public recognition and personal-injury-heavy client testimonials suggest personal injury is currently the more established side of the practice. A worker with a straightforward, individual wrongful-termination or unpaid-wage claim can reasonably retain Havens Law, but should understand they are working with a generalist plaintiff’s litigator rather than a dedicated employment specialist, and that the firm’s public track record so far leans more heavily toward its personal injury docket.

IX. Methodology & Sourcing

This profile was compiled from the firm’s own website (havenslawpllc.com), including team and practice-area pages; the State Bar of Texas directory listing; D Magazine’s online attorney directory; and LinkedIn’s attorney profile. No case results, credentials, or quotes were invented; where independent verification of the firm’s trial-record claim or employment-specific outcomes was unavailable, that gap is disclosed rather than filled.
