Attorney Information
Overview
First Chair Jury and Bench trials in Federal and State courts, in arbitration before administrative agencies, and arguments before the state courts of appeal in commercial and personal injury litigation.
I have both prosecuted and defended contract actions, corporate dissolutions, products liability mattes, oil & gas mattes, banking, real estate, landlord/tenant disputes, securities, negligence, fraud, DTPA, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, copyright infringement, commercial transactions, trade secrets, patent, probate and RICO actions.
I have first chaired jury trials with recoveries of over $11 million (fraud and breach of fiduciary duty), $1,000,000 (breach of contract action with the defense of a securities fraud counterclaim) and lesser amounts. I have negotiated settlements of over $1.2 million (personal injury through a product defect) $5.5 million (personal injury through birth defect) and have obtained extraordinary relief including garnishments of over $1.5 million, $600,000 and lesser amounts (sale of jet fuel to foreign air carriers).
I have defended clients to take nothing judgements or nuisance value settlements wherein the plaintiffs were initially seeking millions of dollars in damages (corporate dissolutions; commodities futures trading; copyright infringement; lender liability and unfair competition). I have obtained injunctive relief in various matters (executive lease rights on mineral lease; theft of trade secrets) and avoided injunctive relief being entered against my clients (unfair competition).
It is imperative that the client obtains value for the services provided and it is essential that the litigation process itself do as little harm as possible to the client.
