He believes in winning and he does. He did an excellent job of defending me in a frivolous lawsuit brought against me by an HOA in Parker County District Court and I wish he still lived here so I could avail myself of his services again. He also defended a neighbor against the same Hoa and literally skinned them, and made it look easy. I would highly recommend him if you want a favorable outcome.
This is my wheelhouse, most of my cases can be summed up under the general category of employment law. Add this percentage to the other employment-related categories I've added for a better picture of this.
This category is really limited to "Texas commercial property taxes" - but that's not an Avvo catgory. Together with Trey Cobb, an excellent property tax consultant, we can handle everything from valuation issues to exemption issues.
Civil Appeals are my first love. Of course, most cases don't ever get an appeal - but when you need an appeal, I'm ready to go! I've filed briefs at the Texas, Arizona, and United States Supreme Courts - as well as the intermediate appellate courts.
This is the "catch all" category for any cases not involving one of the other areas - I am a courthouse lawyer, not a transactions lawyer.

I am a "strategic interpretive replicator." Basically, I see or experience success in one context and I do my best to replicate it in another. The law presents a fascinating opportunity to apply that ability by taking a mixture of facts, personalities, case law, statutes, experience, and extracting the useful parts of each to apply to my next case.
I enjoy helping people who have been fired or discriminated against for the wrong reasons - especially when it's companies or individuals who should know better. As a former small business owner, I also enjoys helping small and mid-size businesses avoid employment-related disputes by either taking steps NOW to prevent that risk or defending a lawsuit when it happens. I absolutely love being part of the appellate process to either defend a great result or change a bad one.
I am married with two daughters (8 & 5). My interests include reading, writing, piano (30+ years), shooting (not hunting), aviation, foreign travel, and saving for the weddings.
