Biography

When catastrophic injuries or wrongful death strike, you need a fierce advocate who understands the fight. Braden Riley, a seasoned trial attorney at Morrow & Sheppard, stands up for individuals and families against some of the world’s largest corporations and insurance carriers, delivering justice with skill and compassion.

A Proven Track Record in the Courtroom

Braden’s legal journey began at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, where he served as first-chair lead counsel in 17 jury trials. From misdemeanors to first-degree felonies, including high-profile cases involving local and international gang members, he honed the courtroom skills that now give him an edge in complex civil cases.

After his time as a prosecutor, Braden joined a major international law firm, representing clients ranging from small family businesses to Fortune 500 companies in commercial litigation and personal injury defense. He defended corporations in lawsuits involving catastrophic injuries at industrial plants, offshore platforms, and workplaces nationwide. That insider perspective now fuels his mission at Morrow & Sheppard—leveraging deep knowledge of corporate defense tactics to fight for injured individuals and their families. His advocacy has helped recover millions of dollars for clients whose lives were forever changed by corporate negligence.

Houston Roots, World-Class Education

A proud Houston native, Braden earned his bachelor’s degree, master’s in accounting, and law degree from Tulane University in New Orleans. While he’s back home in Houston, his practice often brings him to Louisiana, and he remains a loyal supporter of the Tulane Green Wave and New Orleans Saints. His strong Gulf Coast ties drive his commitment to helping seriously injured residents seek justice.

Shelia T.

Griselda Alvarado is such a kind and patient individual. She has a great personality. Through this process she has been so helpful. I needed ti fill out paperwork for a case . She was very patient with me I'm not a computers wise. I was embarrassed to tell her. She gave me the option to come into the office I declined several times. Finally I had to go into office. When I met her she was so helpful and kind. She was suppose to get off at 5 we stayed close to 6. Never did she try to rush the process she was very patient with me. We got everything done and she was so helpful. She has a beautiful spirit and assured everything was completed. She offered me water and kept asking if I needed a break. Since the covid out break I have a phobia being out in public and dealing with people. She was great assisting my needs. Thanks again Griselda for a job well done.
