Serving clients, serving our community, serving our state, serving our nation.When in need of a real trial lawyerWhen in need of a real trial lawyerWhen in need of a real trial lawyerWhen in need of a real trial lawyer
I have been practicing law since 1981, having started at Vinson & Elkins right out of law school at the University of Texas. I am a very active trial lawyer, having tried over 350 cases to jury verdict, a number that real trial lawyers would recognize as meaningful. I'm married to Colleen Cullen Akers, the daughter of a legendary trial lawyer, Dick Cullen. I have three wonderful children, one of whom is a criminal defense lawyer who is already becoming well regarded among his peers. We spend a great deal of our spare time with church and charitable activities through various groups, but mostly through the Order of Malta, a holy order of the Catholic Church in which I am a Knight.
