About Robert
Biography
I grew up poor but I figured out early on that education was the way out of poverty. I always did well in school and, from the third grade on, I made up my mind I was going to become an attorney and help people. Today, after many years of practice, I still have a burning desire to help the underdog and advance causes of social justice. To me, the accident victim is the underdog in every case. He finds himself in debt with hospital bills, undable to work becauase of his injuries, and yet the adjuster won't even return his calls. I get great satisfaction knowing I can level the playing field and get the adjuster's attention as soon as I enter the case.
When I am not seeking justice for my clients, I am either relaxing at home with my wife, traveling, or doing things with our grown twin daughters. I love to read biographies and have a serious interest in American and Texas history. I also enjoy spending time on my farm, tending to the land and riding and training my horses.

Car Crash Incident
