Prominent plaintiff trial lawyer Charla Aldous has formed the Aldous Law firm with fellow trial lawyers Caleb Miller and Eleanor Aldous. Aldous Law is a powerhouse personal injury trial law firm that succeeds Aldous\Walker following Brent Walker’s departure from the practice.
“Brent and I had many successful years together,” Ms. Aldous said. “I am certain he will meet with great success in all that he does in the future, and I wish him the very best.”
Ms. Aldous brings an extraordinary record of courtroom victories to the new firm. Her landmark verdicts include:
- $366 million in a defamation case involving an interventional cardiologist.
- $268 million for the wrongful death of a 13-year-old child.
- $71.95 million for a wife and mother and her children following the death of her husband at a Frito-Lay facility in Irving.
- $37 million for a woman who was left as a quadriplegic following a rollover accident due to the faulty design of a Honda seat belt.
In addition to her many groundbreaking verdicts, Ms. Aldous has secured an impressive array of confidential seven- and eight-figure settlements over the course of her career. Her recent achievements are particularly noteworthy, having obtained personal injury settlements of $75 million, $30 million, $19 million, and $16 million—among many others—in just the past two years.
Recognized as a “Living Legend” by the Dallas Bar Association, Ms. Aldous has received numerous prestigious awards and distinctions. She consistently ranks among Texas Super Lawyers’ top 10 attorneys statewide and has been honored by The Best Lawyers in America and D Magazine. In 2023, Law.com and The National Law Journal named her to its list of the Elite Women of the Plaintiffs Bar, and she received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021 from the Texas Trial Lawyers Association. She is also a member of The Inner Circle of Trial Advocates, The International Academy of Trial Lawyers, American College of Trial Lawyers, and American Board of Trial Advocates.
Caleb Miller brings his own impressive credentials to Aldous Law. His accolades include recognition from The Best Lawyers in America, D Magazine and Lawdragon. In 2023, he received the Texas Trial Lawyers Association Reich Chandler Award for outstanding advocacy and commitment to ethics and professionalism.
Eleanor Aldous was named by The Best Lawyers in America to its “Ones to Watch” list for 2025. In addition, she was named to the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 list and to the Lawdragon X – The Next Generation for 2024.
