Robert A. Haslam
Attorney at Law

Haslam Jr.

Robert A. Haslam is married to Veronica, and together have two wonderful children. As a civil litigation attorney at The Haslam Firm in Fort Worth, Texas, I am passionate about representing individuals and families who have suffered serious injuries or lost loved ones due to the negligence of others. I fight tirelessly to secure the compensation and justice my clients deserve—whether from car and truck accidents, premises liability incidents, product liability cases, oilfield injuries, wrongful death, or insurance disputes.

My unique background strengthens every case I handle. Prior to joining The Haslam Firm, I spent years in the oil and gas industry in corporate development roles, including at Anadarko Petroleum, where I negotiated high-value acquisitions, divestitures, and complex commercial transactions totaling billions of dollars with major energy companies. This hands-on experience gives me deep insight into the operations, contracts, and risks within the energy sector—particularly valuable when advocating for clients injured in oilfield incidents or navigating disputes involving energy companies.

I am proud to carry forward the legacy of The Haslam Firm, a family practice with decades of proven results across Texas and Oklahoma. Together with my father, Bob Haslam, we combine seasoned courtroom advocacy with a personal, client-first approach that has delivered significant verdicts and settlements for injury victims. Our firm’s track record includes landmark appellate wins and multimillion-dollar recoveries, reflecting our commitment to fierce representation and honest counsel.

If you or a loved one has been harmed by someone else’s negligence, I invite you to reach out for a confidential conversation. At The Haslam Firm, we take your case personally and stand ready to help you move forward.

We rise by lifting others
