Mr. Bickham graduated from South Texas College of Law in 1993 where he received numerous advocacy awards. Since he became an attorney, Mr. Bickham has focused his entire career in civil litigation. He began his career working for the Law Offices of James D. Guiffre where he worked primarily on oil refinery cases involving Spanish speaking clients as well as a large number of commercial vehicle cases. Mr. Bickham recognized that working on the defense side could be beneficial to his development as an attorney and worked as a civil defense attorney with the firm Boston & Cunningham, P.C. primarily handling the defense of medical malpractice cases.
