Submission declined on 30 July 2024 by Theroadislong (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Theroadislong 3 months ago. |

Maxey Scherr (born September 10, 1980) is a plaintiff trucking attorney in the states of Texas, New Mexico, and Illinois.[1] who ran for U.S. Senate in 2014 [2]. She is the third female in the United States to get board-certified for trucking [3]. She is currently on the board of the ATAA (Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys) as Parliamentarian & Board of Regents Member, and was the previous Women's Caucus Co-Chair from 2022-2023 [4]. Scherr serves as a member of the Rules of Evidence Committee for the Texas State Bar [5]. She has also been a pillar in the community, and serves as a member on the first El Paso Women's Rights Commission and is also on the board of the El Paso Downtown Management District [6]. Additionally, Scherr is a Melvin M. Belli Society member [7], an officer and the Education Co-Chair of the AAJ (American Association for Justice), AAJ's TLG Executive Board Member, an officer of the TBI Litigation Group at the AAJ, and is currently the BIAA (Brain Injury Association of America) Liaison. She is also one of the founders of AWTLA (All Women Trial Lawyers Association), as well as one of the founders of "of the 8, Inc.", a 501(c)(3) dedicated to making the roads safer by, through and for the support of women lawyers, advocates and transportation workers. She currently has two of the top ten Jury Verdicts in Texas in 2023 from her litigation in the cases of Mendoza v. Titan and Favela v. Swift [8]. Scherr has litigated in over 60 jury trials resulting with multiple multi-figure verdicts across the nation [9].
Born in Texas, Scherr attended the University of Massachusetts - Boston and earned her bachelor's degree in psychology with magna cum laude honors, then proceeded to undertake postgraduate work in neuroscience at Harvard University [10]. Afterwards, she then attended Texas Tech University School of Law where she received her J.D [11]. Afterwards, she practiced plaintiff law at Scherr Legate from 2008-2021 as partner in El Paso, TX [12]. Maxey's contribution to trials spread fast across the nation, as she became known as one of the best expert cross examinators in the nation. Her approach to brain injury diagnostic provided important paving in what is defined as traumatic brain injury in patients [13].
After gaining experience from her time at Scherr Legate and earning multiple multi-figure jury verdicts in personal injury cases, Scherr decided to start her own firm, Scherr Law Firm[14]. Here, her goal was to have a firm whose goal was to truly provide justice to clients [15]. Scherr wanted a firm that built real relations with the clients, and focuses on the quality over the quantity of these cases. To her, a win is receiving a large verdict and real acknowledgement for the clients, and causing change within these corporations whom will now remember the consequences of their negligence to the clients [16]. Scherr and her firm are frequent advocators for the safety, well being, women's rights, and representation of others in the area and the nation. Scherr sponsors many different events that makes a difference or spreads a meaningful message in the area [17]
In March 2024, Scherr was petitioning in Washington, D.C. in front of Congress for more strict regulations for trucking safety [18]. She actively works with other lawyers, professors, and doctors to make a difference in safety on the road, and strives to find new innovations in science and medicine, while also advocating to raise safety practices and lower the dangers on the road [19]. Scherr is concerned with changing the laws to better help not only her past clients, but her future clients as well as society as a whole.
