Kashif Mehmood

Few Houston injury lawyers can point to numbers like Kashif Masood Mehmood’s. As Managing Attorney at John K. Zaid & Associates, he has carried thousands of personal injury cases from opening file to final resolution and has personally settled hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients. For an injury victim trying to separate marketing slogans from verifiable track records, that volume of hands-on results is the distinguishing fact.

Mehmood’s practice spans wrongful death claims, commercial and non-commercial motor vehicle collisions, 18-wheeler and trucking accidents, premises liability cases, and class action litigation. Before joining the Zaid firm he worked at Thomas J. Henry Injury Attorneys, where he built his skills on automobile crashes, company vehicle wrecks, workplace accidents, and trucking cases. His stated mission is simple: to give a voice to people whose lives have been scarred by severe injury.

Born in Mumbai, India, and raised in Houston from infancy, Mehmood grew up in Southwest Houston before moving to Katy, where he graduated from Seven Lakes High School and competed on the Speech and Debate team, the origin of the public speaking skill he now turns against insurance companies. He stayed local for college, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations with a Finance minor from the University of Houston in 2015, then completed his Juris Doctor at the University of Houston Law Center in 2018, the same year he was admitted to the State Bar of Texas. In law school he competed on the Mock Trial team, belonged to the South Asian Law Students Association, and worked as a student attorney with attorneys Ned Turnbull and Amy Martin on criminal and capital defense matters for indigent, court-appointed clients, a level of trial responsibility most students never experience. Internships on both the plaintiff and defense sides of injury litigation rounded out his preparation.

Mehmood is the right call for seriously injured Houstonians, especially victims of trucking and commercial vehicle crashes, families pursuing wrongful death claims, and anyone whose case demands a negotiator with the leverage that only comes from a long, provable settlement record. As with every case at John K. Zaid & Associates, the consultation is free and the fee is contingent: clients pay nothing unless they win.
