What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

My favorite part about working at CHS are the people. Everyone is so warm and supportive. Furthermore, there is a lot of on-the-job learning during the first few years of your career as an attorney. At CHS, there is a strong open-door policy, and everyone is very approachable in asking questions and providing resources to learn and grow. 

We are excited to announce that Vincent Ortega has joined Childers Hewett Slagle PLLC as Of Counsel.

Vincent brings over 16 years of experience across the energy and land sectors. Having operated both a law firm and a land and title company, he offers a unique, practical perspective on complex transactions, mineral title, and renewables.

Meet this month's Spotlight Attorney: Christian Garcia!

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

My favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle PLLC is the culture of excellence without ego.  The work is sophisticated, and the expectations are high, yet collaboration remains genuine and unguarded.  Ideas are tested openly, questions are encouraged, and everyone is focused on getting the answer right for the client.  That environment fosters meaningful growth for young professionals—refining technical skills and professional judgment through high expectations, open dialogue, and a shared commitment to doing the work the right way.

We are proud to be a sponsor of the 2025 Fort Worth Association of Professional Landmen (FWAPL) Annual Clay Shoot!

Our team is looking forward to seeing everyone!

My answer is equal parts simple and true: the people. I truly believe in the saying “people don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad leaders,” and luckily the leaders here are pretty dang good. Truthfully, the workplace environment at CHS is as good as it gets.
