Biography
Ted Liggett is an experienced trial attorney and the founder of Liggett Law Group. For nearly thirty years, Ted has dedicated his legal career to representing people and families who have suffered serious injuries or injustice because of the negligence or wrongful conduct of others.
Before entering the legal profession, Ted was a successful business owner in the entertainment industry. He earned his undergraduate degree in Political Science and English from Southern Methodist University, where he was recognized by the Golden Key Honor Society, before receiving his Juris Doctor from the Texas Tech University School of Law.
While attending Texas Tech Law, Ted distinguished himself in the school’s advocacy programs. He was one of only three second-year students invited to join the Board of Barristers, won the law school’s Advanced Mock Trial Competition, and received the American Jurisprudence Award for Trial Advocacy. As a member of Texas Tech’s Trial Advocacy Team, Ted helped win a regional championship before the team placed third in the National Law School Mock Trial Championship.
Since being licensed in Texas in 1996, Ted has handled thousands of cases through jury verdicts and negotiated settlements. His practice has included wrongful death, oilfield and workplace accidents, commercial-truck collisions, automobile and motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, shootings, spinal injuries, amputations, disfigurement, and other catastrophic injury matters. He’s recovered millions for motor-vehicle, oilfield-accident, and medical-malpractice cases.
Ted has been selected to the Texas Super Lawyers list each year from 2021 through 2026 and holds an AV Preeminent peer-review rating from Martindale-Hubbell, its highest standard for professional ability and ethical conduct. He is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, the Million-Dollar Advocates Forum, the Multi-Million-Dollar Advocates Forum, the Texas Bar Foundation, and the Texas Trial Lawyers Association. Ted and Liggett Law Group have also repeatedly been recognized by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal and Best of Lubbock, including honors for Best Attorney, Best Law Firm, and the Readers’ Choice Award.
Ted’s connection to Lubbock extends well beyond the courtroom. He served for nearly a decade as Chancellor of the Episcopal Diocese of Northwest Texas and has supported organizations including Ballet Lubbock, Lubbock Meals on Wheels, the South Plains Food Bank, Los Hermanos Familia, and Paul’s Project. Through Liggett Law Group’s long-standing partnership with the Hispanic Association of Women, Ted has helped expand educational opportunities for students across the Lubbock area. That commitment includes the Cordelia Dennis-Liggett Memorial Scholarship, which provides up to $6,000 per semester toward a recipient’s four-year degree, as well as additional scholarships awarded to local students.
