Eduardo Diaz Kosturakis

Injury victims in Houston who speak Spanish as a first language, or whose lives straddle the Texas-Mexico border, will struggle to find a better-matched advocate than Eduardo Diaz Kosturakis. An Associate at John K. Zaid & Associates, he holds law licenses on both sides of the border, in Texas and in Mexico, and practices fully bilingually. That is a rare credential among Houston injury lawyers, and it means clients can explain what happened to them in their own words rather than through an interpreter.

Diaz Kosturakis was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Mexican Law from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM). His training started early. Through the first half of his degree he litigated criminal and family matters at a pro bono firm; through the second half he worked inside an international firm’s white-collar criminal and commercial litigation groups. After graduating he moved to Houston, advising a boutique practice as a Mexican law consultant before enrolling at South Texas College of Law Houston in 2014. He earned his Juris Doctor in May 2017, and spent his final two years of law school inside the litigation department of a personal injury firm, learning firsthand how cases move from intake all the way to settlement or verdict.

That early start has grown into a substantial record. Diaz Kosturakis has represented hundreds of injured clients in car wrecks, slip and fall claims, negligent animal handling cases, and other injury matters. At John K. Zaid & Associates he handles the full range of injury and fatality cases, and he measures every file against three standards he names explicitly: professionalism, empathy, and due diligence. In practice, that means clients are walked through each stage of their claim instead of being left to wonder what is happening with their own case.

He is a natural choice for Spanish-speaking families in Houston, for anyone hurt in a crash or fall who wants an attorney personally managing the claim, and for clients whose situation touches both the U.S. and Mexican legal systems. The firm handles injury work on contingency, with no fee unless the case is won, and the first consultation costs nothing, so there is no financial risk in asking whether he can help.
