Callender Bowlin Highlights Advocacy-First Approach Across Expanded Houston, Denver, and Albuquerque Offices

DENVER, CO, August 19, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Founded by trial lawyers Mark Callender and Josh Bowlin, Callender Bowlin (CB Trial) is led by attorneys with more than four decades of combined litigation experience across commercial disputes, health care advocacy, first-party insurance claims, personal injury, and trial work in federal and district courts.

“We both spent much of our early careers at large law firms, and that allows us to provide our clients with sophisticated, big-firm-caliber service and expertise,” says Callender, founding partner at CB Trial. “As a boutique trial firm, our streamlined structure allows us to stay steadfastly focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for clients. Our size also allows us to take a more cost-effective approach than you would find at our larger counterparts.”

Based in Houston, Texas, with additional offices in Denver, Colorado, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, CB Trial represents mid- to large-sized businesses and high net worth clients in matters involving complex commercial litigation and health care advocacy, while also representing individuals in first-party insurance claims and personal injury matters with experience on both the plaintiff and defense sides.

While its practice has roots in Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico, CB Trial’s significant trial experience has made the firm a sought-after litigation partner for clients throughout the country.

CB Trial’s advocacy-first approach extends beyond traditional commercial litigation and personal injury. The firm’s attorneys represent policyholders in first-party insurance disputes, often involving fire, water, hail, and storm damage, where insurers often delay, underpay, or deny legitimate claims.

Additionally, the team often represents health care providers in remote and rural communities who are forced to fight large insurers for payments owed to them, threatening the financial stability of essential community health care services.

“Having been raised in small Texas towns by families who valued hard work, we built this firm on those same principles and core pillars,” says Bowlin, founding partner. “We value integrity, hard work, and grit. While we operate as a boutique practice, our commitment to outworking the opposition is a cornerstone of our success — and it is a quality our clients deeply respect.”

The firm’s hardworking culture is defined by more than simply returning phone calls and keeping clients updated on their cases; the CB Trial team engages clients as active participants in case strategy and planning.

“We know the law, but our clients have lived and experienced their cases,” says Bowlin. “When you spend time listening to what your clients have to say, it makes you a more effective and passionate advocate. Clients often have fantastic ideas about strategy that might otherwise remain outside the view of most attorneys. If you’re not collaborating with your clients, you’re shortchanging them.”

That collaborative approach becomes especially valuable when a case heads to trial.

Proven Trial Expertise

“There are many attorneys who call themselves trial lawyers, even though they don’t actually try cases,” says Callender. “They settle for the best deal they think they can get. The truth is, you’re never going to get the best outcome for your client unless the other side knows that you’re willing to take it to trial. The other side’s posture often changes when they realize they’re in for a fight.”

Litigation is a burdensome process, and many clients view settlement as a simple exit strategy. However, settling too early can be more expensive than the litigation itself. What these clients may fail to appreciate is the greater expense of settling a lawsuit too early. Callender and Bowlin leverage more than 40 years of experience in federal and district courtrooms nationwide to identify when a trial is the necessary and best path forward. In many instances, their deep expertise has proven that taking a case to verdict is the most effective way to protect a client’s interests.

“We have a reputation for being very well prepared for trial and for fighting these cases to the very end,” Callender says. “We’ve obtained many favorable results at trial and often reach settlements on the courthouse steps.”
