    Cases
    Experience: Representative Matters: Ended double taxation resulting from a 46-year boundary dispute in three months by employing a never-before-used statute to file a suit directly in the Supreme Court of Texas.
    Secured a settlement of more than $600,000,000 for a Fortune 100 company alleging securities fraud.
    Dismissed an appeal with a st
    ing challenge that had been overlooked for two decades in dozens of appellate decisions assuming st
    ing in the same situation.
    Reduced a $130,000,000 jury verdict to zero by arguing the dealership-purchase contract negated justifiable reliance on misrepresentations that contradict the contract.
    Dismissed a wrongful-death claim based on forum non conveniens with novel arguments precluding the plaintiffs from avoiding dismissal by changing their residence after filing suit.
    Upheld no-evidence summary judgment against a healthcare provider by arguing the plaintiffs' citations to hundreds of pages of testimony were insufficiently specific. This prevented vague, but emotionally resonant, arguments from reaching the jury.
    Prevented burdensome litigation against a foreign client by arguing jurisdiction in Texas would offend traditional notions of fair play
    substantial justice. This rarely successful argument prevailed despite the client's role as a manager of a Texas LLC that owned Texas real property related to the dispute.
    Coordinated a national amicus-brief campaign to shape precedent on whether federal preemption prevents state regulation of air ambulances.
    Obtained voluntary dismissal with prejudice of a lawsuit regarding a widely used medication.
    Navigated a client unscathed out of an SEC investigation.
    Advised several artificial intelligence companies on how to navigate their new technologies through preexisting regulations
    contract language.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
