His fearless approach to representing individuals against powerful defendants has earned him widespread recognition. In 2018, he was named one of D Magazine’s “Best Lawyers in Dallas.” He also received the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s John Howie Award in 2013 for his unwavering pursuit of justice in the face of adversity.
