5.0 out of 5 stars

Preston represented my company and our insurance carrier regarding a claim involving our minor role in a large commercial multi-use construction project in Austin, TX. We were one of dozens of defendants listed in the suit. Very real and tangible errors (mostly water damage and some structural) became apparent in much of the building area, but after nearly six years, there was no evidence of workmanship or product problems involving our participation. The claimant was very resistant to absolving any defendant, apparently looking for financial contributors, regardless of culpability or lack thereof. Preston skillfully and doggedly pursued our case for over two years, finally reaching a recent tolling agreement to release us from the suit. Throughout this period he frequently shared with me status, objectives, our mutual frustrations, and some dark humor at times. Lesser attorneys might have folded. Reading his many frustrating correspondences with claimant attorneys, I was constantly impressed. The guy really was good to work with, regarding legal technical and customer relations. I've worked with several attorneys on business related issues over the years. Preston is in the top group.
