Major Pirtle – Trial Lawyer

Major is a Houston-born trial lawyer carrying forward a proud family legacy of courtroom excellence. Raised in a family of trial lawyers, he learned early on the power of standing up for those whose lives have been shattered by catastrophic injuries.

A lifelong Houstonian, Major earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Houston before graduating with a Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law. During law school, he was inducted into the prestigious Order of the Barristers for his outstanding courtroom advocacy and was a leading member of one of the most accomplished advocacy classes in the school’s history. Through South Texas’s nationally recognized trial program, he sharpened the litigation skills that now define his practice.

Drawn to Zehl & Associates for its record-setting verdicts and reputation as a powerhouse for injured clients, Major joined the firm immediately after law school. Since then, he’s worked alongside some of the most successful and experienced trial lawyers in the country—fighting for clients facing the toughest battles of their lives.

At Zehl & Associates, Major blends his deep-rooted passion for advocacy with the firm’s relentless pursuit of justice. He is committed to giving clients a voice, holding corporations accountable, and delivering life-changing results for individuals and families impacted by serious injuries.

When he’s not in the courtroom, Major enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his two poodles, Two and Brutus.
