I am primarily a litigator. My earlier experience as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Texas allowed me to travel throughout the State litigating cases against the top firms in Texas so I became and am totally comfortable working with judges and juries in either a civil or criminal defense case. In my Appellate work, I was able to change the law to allow a landowner to be able to testify as to his opinion of value of his land without having to hire an expert witness. In a capital murder case, I was able to change the law on double jeopardy which saved my client from being put to death; and recently I have written a brief that changed the law relating to payable on death accounts and the Bank's responsibility to follow the Probate Code. I am currently working on an appeal involving First Amendment Rights which may well finally be decided by the US Supreme Court.
