He later joined Crain Caton &amp; James, where he became a first-chair trial lawyer in civil matters. Over the years, he has been recognized with Martindale-Hubbell\u2019s highest \u201cAV\u201d rating, and has been included in <em>Best Lawyers<\/em> for commercial litigation and fiduciary disputes. He has been named a <em>Texas Super Lawyer<\/em> in business litigation for two decades running.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond his professional work, Vance is a husband, father, and grandfather who has made Harris County home for his family. He met his wife, Tracy, at UT Law School. Together, they remain active in their church and community, with Vance having served as a volunteer for CASA, protecting the rights of children in the foster system. This personal commitment to service and fairness shapes his approach to the law: every case matters because every client matters.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#192e55&#8243; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;light&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;10&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;10&#8243; id=&#8221;why&#8221; disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;]<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]\n<h2>Practice Areas<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"margin-top: 5px; width: 20%px; height: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;\" data-width=\"20%\" data-animate=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"\" data-color=\"accent-color\" class=\"divider-small-border\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Commercial Litigation<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nContract disputes, business torts, minority shareholder claims, and corporate governance issues.
