Employment and Labor 70%

This is my wheelhouse - most of my cases can be summed up under the general category of employment law. Add this percentage to the other employment-related categories I've added for a better picture of this.

15 years

70%
Appeals 4%

Civil Appeals are my first love. Of course, most cases don't ever get an appeal - but when you need an appeal, I'm ready to go! I've filed briefs at the Texas, Arizona, and United States Supreme Courts - as well as the intermediate appellate courts.

23 years

4%
Arbitration 4%

Sometimes employment documents you've signed means you won't get to go to court, but will be in an arbitration setting instead. We handle those too.

4%
Litigation 2%

This is the "catch all" category for any cases not involving one of the other areas - I am a courthouse lawyer, not a transactions lawyer.

Top of The Line Professional

He believes in winning and he does. He did an excellent job of defending me in a frivolous lawsuit brought against me by an HOA in Parker County District Court and I wish he still lived here so I could avail myself of his services again. He also defended a neighbor against the same Hoa and literall...y skinned them, and made it look easy. I would highly recommend him if you want a favorable outcome.

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.
