Outstanding Legal/Engineering Expert in the Telecommunications Industry

Calm, confident and thoughtful, extremely intelligent and knowledgable, Raul is one of a small and select group of professionals who possesses a complete and up-to-date understanding of the telecommunications industry from both an engineering and a legal standpoint. This unique combination of skills ...and experience sets him apart and qualifies him as a true expert in VSAT and ESV licensing, FCC regulations, and many other telecoms related issues. It has truly been a real pleasure to know and to work on many occasions with Raul over the past decade.

FCC Lawyer with Rare Combination of Engineering Depth & Legal Savvy -> A+

Raul is THE authority when it comes to matters relating to ESV and VSAT licensing. I was thoughly impressed by the throughness of his responses and his appreciation of RF matters from both an engineering perspective as well as from the FCC angle. He knows this space like the back of his hand. After i...nterviewing many many firms, I can safely say that Raul belongs to a very rare breed in this industry who has the engineering depth to craft a sound legal strategy quickly. He was able to appreciate our challenges and get to the crux of the matter far faster than the other FCC lawyers I worked with. I unequivocally and wholeheartedly recommend Raul.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the pleasure of working with Raul on joint legal/FCC projects on multiple occasions over the years, and, have not the slightest hesitation in recommending him for legal work in the telecommunications sector. In the area of VSAT & Radio Frequency matters and licensure, Raul is a versatile blend of attorney & engineer – a true asset for this type of work. Raul’s experience and knowledge of FCC regulatory compliance in telecommunications, VoIP and RF broadcast separate him from others solely niched in broadband. In the State of Texas, I can think of no other attorney that I would consult and utilize as local counsel should my clients have a need or problem related to Texas law, regulation or litigation. Raul tackles legal issues in a meticulous manner that gives confidence that the problem or issue is being handled by a true professional with all practical options being considered. Likewise, Raul is English/Spanish bilingual, an immeasurable asset with cross border clients."
