Construction and development lawyer | Feb 24

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Cara and I have worked together on numerous matters over the years. I have always found Cara to handle all matters competently and with the highest ethics in mind. It always makes resolving construction defect lawsuits easier when your opposing counsel is as experienced as is Cara. In fact, I am so confident in Cara's abilities, that I refer cases to her on a regular basis. I highly endorse Cara as a construction litigation attorney."

Construction and development lawyer | Dec 02

Relationship: Co-worker

"Cara has been my partner for over a year, and she is truly an honorable, knowledgeable, and caring attorney. She knows construction issues inside and out. Over the years, I have worked with Cara as both co-counsel and opposing counsel on several cases before we became partners so I got to see her talent shine. I highly recommend hiring Cara for any construction issue that arises. She pays attention to detail and represents her client with zeal. She loves all the little details that go into construction projects, and this trait makes her an excellent advocate for her clients. She leaves no stone unturned when litigating a case, and she has been named one of the top construction lawyers in Fort Worth. Cara speaks all over the State on various construction topics, and she spends a lot of time staying on top of all the top construction legal topics. She is a leader in construction law and has really made a name for herself in this industry."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
