How This Third-Year Haynes Boone Associate Became ‘Professor Potts’

Bradley Potts, an associate at Haynes Boone in Houston, attributes any success of his thus far in life to the education and mentorship he received as a young student. That especially includes his high school American history teacher in Shreveport, Louisiana, a former lawyer who was the first to inspire him to consider pursuing law.

“She recognized that I had particular strengths in critical analysis, writing and speaking that would translate well into a legal career. I had not considered becoming a lawyer until talking with her at length about different legal career pathways, but I realized, relatively quickly, that a legal career would suit my interests and skillset well, regardless of the precise field,” Potts said, noting that other hometown mentors echoed that same advice.
