Tony Coveny ,
J.D., Ph.D.

Tony Coveny has spent more than 15 years focused exclusively on foodborne illness and infectious disease litigation. He manages the firm's Houston office and works directly with clients throughout investigation and case development.

His background combines legal training with advanced academic research. Tony earned a J.D. from the University of Houston in 2007, magna cum laude, after completing a Ph.D. in Political Science (University of New Mexico, 2002), an M.A. in Latin American Studies (University of New Mexico, 1997), and a B.A. in History and Political Science (Seattle Pacific University, 1994).

Before dedicating his practice to food safety law, Tony served as a professor of Public Administration and American Government. That teaching background helps him explain complex legal and scientific issues in clear, practical terms for families navigating a claim.

Tony regularly contributes to public understanding of food safety through legal publications, policy commentary, and community education efforts, including sponsorship of the Annual Mock Trial at Prairie View A&M University.

Working alongside Ron Simon, Tony has helped resolve claims against major food companies, international suppliers, and domestic distributors, with a methodical approach centered on tracing contamination and proving accountability.
