Bio

I am a trial lawyer. For over 30 years, I have litigated, tried, arbitrated, and appealed lawsuits involving virtually every substantive category of civil disputes. I have been board certified since 1990 in Civil Trial Law and Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I always have and still immensely enjoy this work. Representing people and organizations as plaintiffs and defendants in legal disputes is challenging, fascinating, and rewarding work. I believe that the American system of trial by jury is the greatest system of justice ever devised. I believe that trial lawyers have a responsibility to their clients, the courts, and our system of justice to advocate for our clients with zeal and integrity. I strive to live up to this responsibility for every client in every case. I am proud of the record I have built over many years in the practice of law, and I look forward to many more years as a trial lawyer. I am active in the profession and in our community. I have served as a representative to the national board of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) for many years. I have also served as President of the Houston Chapter of ABOTA and as President of TEX-ABOTA, the organization that covers the sixteen Texas ABOTA chapters. I serve on the Board of Directors of the Texas Association of Defense Counsel. I serve on the Executive Committee of the Baylor Law Alumni Association. I also serve on the Board of the TIRR Foundation, which supports research in the areas of traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. And I serve on the board of directors of the Western State Colorado University Foundation, which supports my alma mater. I have been honored to receive recognition from the legal profession. I hold the rank of Advocate in ABOTA, and I am a fellow in the International Society of Barristers. ABOTA and ISOB are invitation-only organizations limited to trial lawyers who have demonstrated proficiency and professionalism. I have been recognized as a Texas Super Lawyer, a Thompson Reuters Publication, every year since 2004, and I have been listed in Best Lawyers (in America), a Woodward White, Inc. Publication, every year since 2009.
