Colvin, Chaney, Saenz & Rodriguez, L.L.P
Colvin, Chaney, Saenz & Rodriguez, L.L.P., has a long history of service to the Brownsville business community and the people of South Texas. The firm's history began in 1950, when the General Solicitor for the Missouri Pacific Railroad suggested to two Brownsville attorneys that a merger of their firms would better enable them to represent the railroad. The firm of Sharpe, Cunningham & Garza was born and it began representing the Rio Grande Valley business community in civil litigation. The Missouri Pacific/Union Pacific Railroad has remained a major client of the firm since that time.
Over the next decades, the firm continued to grow and emerged as a major South Texas law firm. During that time, founding partner Reynaldo G. Garza was appointed to the bench as the first Hispanic federal district court judge, and Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Sharpe parted ways.
T. Gilbert Sharpe joined forces with another established Brownsville attorney, Benjamin Hardy. The firm of Hardy & Sharpe became the firm of Hardy, Sharpe & Rodriguez when Eduardo Roberto Rodriguez made partner. In subsequent years, Norton A. Colvin, Mitchell C. Chaney, and Jaime A. Saenz joined the firm and became named partners. In 2009, Eduardo Roberto Rodriguez retired as a partner, then left the firm, and partner Joseph A. (Tony) Rodriguez became a named partner, giving the firm its current name of Colvin, Chaney, Saenz & Rodriguez, L.L.P.
