Wesley Lotz not only has a successful law career, he also gives much of his time to be of service to the community.

Lotz, 35, is a partner at Fulkerson Lotz LLP, which he co-founded in 2010 when he was 32. His law experience spans jury trials, bench trials and an arbitration involving over $100 million. Lotz was chosen as a 2014 Houston Business Journal 40 Under 40. He is as passionate about being of service to those in need as he is about his career.

In addition to his regular clients at his law firm, he has been able to use his expertise to handle several pro bono or reduced-fee cases for people in need, which he discussed in his application.

"A few recent examples include helping an 80-year-old geologist recover unpaid royalties in a bankruptcy case, handling a divorce appeal for a mother of two and representing a friend whose home was being foreclosed," Lotz wrote in his application.

Lotz is actively involved in more than 13 different organizations, including West Houston Assistance Ministries, Goodwill, Larkin Community Center, Bellaire Gardens Nursing Home, St. John's Bread of Life, Angels of Light and the Houston Urban Debate League.

Professionally, Lotz hopes to expand his law practice, mentor new associates at the firm and, eventually, become a judge.
