AttorneyEugene Tagle

Growing up in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, Texas, Eugene found his initial passion for trial law in high school as an attorney and witness on his school’s state finalist mock trial team.  Eugene is a proud graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School, where he served as a member of the ACTL trial competition team and as a certified student attorney with the Domestic Assault Prosecution Division of the Minneapolis City Attorney’s Office.  Eugene was also elected by his fellow students to the law school’s Law Council and represented the law school in the university’s Graduate and Professional Student Association (GAPSA).

After graduating, Eugene moved back to his home state of Texas and has been a licensed Texas attorney since 2009.  Eugene has years of personal injury experience on both the plaintiff and defense sides of the bar, as he believes the ability to view a client’s case from all angles ensures a client receives the best representation possible.  In his many years as a plaintiff’s attorney, Eugene has recovered millions of dollars for his injured clients.

Eugene joined Sweet James from a well-respected Texas defense firm, where he represented businesses and transportation companies in high-stakes personal injury litigation.  He has in-depth knowledge of how injury claims are valued by insurance companies, as he often used his wide breadth of legal experience and knowledge to guide those valuations.  As the Supervising Attorney of Sweet James’s Texas operations, Eugene uses that same knowledge to ensure his clients’ cases are best prepared for trial and to maximize his clients’ potential recovery.  If a client’s case goes to trial, Eugene uses his years of first-chair trial experience, as well as almost thirty years of speaking experience as a trial attorney, teacher, and broadcaster, to ensure a jury understands and empathizes with his client.

Eugene stays active in his legal community through his past and current participation with the Dallas Bar Association, and the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association.  He also serves as a regular instructor and judge with the same Texas High School Mock Trial Program that he participated in as a student more than twenty-five years ago.
