What happens when a lawyer decides that bigger isn’t always better?
On this episode of That One Lawyer™ Podcast, Neal Goldstein sits down with Don McClure — a Houston attorney, former police officer, and community leader — who’s spent the last 30 years proving that success in law doesn’t have to come at the cost of integrity, family, or peace of mind.
Don and his wife, Edith, have built a practice that’s less about billboards and more about belonging — where every client feels seen, heard, and valued. From handwritten notes and phone calls to charity events and summer reading programs, Don’s firm has become more than a business. It’s a hub for human connection.
In this heartfelt conversation, Don shares how his faith, humility, and life experiences shaped not only the lawyer he became — but the man he strives to be.
