Biography

Gabriel Assaad grew up in Rochester, New York. After graduating from McQuaid Jesuit High School, he attended the University of Florida and graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1996.

After graduating from Vanderbilt Law School in 2001, Gabriel accepted a position with Dickstein Shapiro, LLP, a large Washington, DC law firm.

While at Paulson and Nace, Gabriel represented hundreds of victims of negligence and was first chair or second chair in over 15 jury trials.

In 2010, Gabriel and his wife Kristin had their first child and decided to relocate to Houston, TX to be closer to family. On January 3, 2012, Mr. Assaad joined Kennedy Hodges LLP. At Kennedy Hodges, he continued his representation of individuals that were victims of malpractice and negligence. In addition, Gabriel also represents individuals in which their employers failed to properly pay them their due wages.
