William T. "Bill" Sebesta is an experienced and accomplished trial lawyer whose practice emphasizes insurance subrogation. After his initial training in insurance defense and bad faith litigation, he then spent 6-1/2 years with Cozen O’Connor’s Dallas office where he was trained in the art of large loss subrogation. In 2004, Bill returned to his hometown of Houston and continued his subrogation practice at a mid-size firm, focusing on energy-related losses. In January 2007, Bill and Scot Doyen opened the doors of Doyen Sebesta, Ltd., LLP., where Bill is in charge of the firm’s subrogation practice group.
