With over 13 years of experience as a litigator, my practice has spanned the full spectrum of commercial and business litigation, including contracts, business torts, securities, oil & gas, lender liability, non-compete agreements and other employment-related disputes. Recognizing that the last place most business clients want to be is in the courtroom, I strive to develop creative, practical, and value-driven solutions to complex problems and disputes from the outset. However, as a trial lawyer, I provide the skills necessary for success in the courtroom. My courtroom experience ranges from state and federal court trials to arguments before the Supreme Court of Texas and all points in between. In the relentless pursuit of my client’s best interest, I keep one important value in mind – integrity.
From time to time, I contribute articles to both Texas Lawyer and The Houston Business Journal. I have served as an adjunct professor at South Texas College of Law teaching advocacy. I also have lectured to in-house legal departments regarding aspects of the attorney/client privilege and other ethical considerations as well as Internet privacy policies and electronic signatures.
I am active in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo as a Vice Chairman of the Speaker’s Committee. I also serve on the Houston Chapter of Advisory Board of the Entrepreneurship Institute.
In my free time, my wife and I enjoy outdoor activities such as running, golf and hunting, as well as trying to keep up with our two daughters.
