      Varghese Summersett Background

      Robert Huseman

      Robert Huseman
      Partner

      Robert Huseman is a former homicide detective and deputy chief prosecutor, bringing experience and skills to Varghese Summersett that rival any other defense firm in North Texas.  He has more than 30 years of experience in Texas’ criminal justice system — knowledge and insight that he now uses to vigorously defend our clients.

      Robert’s law enforcement career began in 1991 at the Houston Police Department, where he started off as a patrol officer. He advanced quickly and, three years later, was promoted to homicide detective. Over the next seven years, he investigated nearly 200 murder cases.

      While working in homicide, Robert also began pursuing a legal career. He attended South Texas College of Law in Houston part-time, graduating in 2002 with a law degree. The following year, he was hired as an assistant district attorney at the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office in Fort Worth.

      Over the next 20 years, Robert served as a criminal prosecutor in numerous courts and units, including juvenile, gang, and law enforcement investigations. He rose through the ranks to Deputy Chief over the Criminal Division, where he supervised the gang/homicide, narcotics, and grand jury units.

      Over the past two decades, Robert has handled thousands of cases, ranging from misdemeanors to murders – and everything in between, including juvenile, gang, and gun crimes.

      Robert now uses his police and prosecutorial background on the other side of the docket. His first-hand knowledge of police training, procedures, and investigations help identify issues that work to our client’s advantage.

      As a former prosecutor, he knows how the other side thinks and can develop strategies to produce the most favorable outcome possible. The clients at Varghese Summersett are fortunate to have Robert in their corner.
