Practice areas
What I handle
A litigation practice covering injury claims and commercial disputes across Central Texas. Small caseload, direct attorney contact.
Injury and wrongful death
When someone else caused the harm
Contingency fee. No fee unless we recover for you.
Car Accidents
Rear-end and intersection collisions, uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, and disputed liability crashes across the I-35 corridor. Texas modified comparative fault means every percentage point of blame shifted onto you reduces what you recover, which is why insurers argue fault even when it looks obvious.
Read more →Truck & 18-Wheeler
Commercial vehicle crashes involve electronic logging data, engine control module downloads, maintenance records and hiring files, most of which have short retention periods. A trucking company begins investigating within hours of a crash. A preservation letter sent early is often the single highest-value step in the case.
Read more →Motorcycle Accidents
Riders face a presumption of fault before anyone examines the evidence, which shows up as lower offers and higher comparative fault allocations. Because a motorcycle offers no crumple zone or restraint system, the same impact that produces a soft tissue claim in a car produces fractures and brain injury here.
Read more →Premises Liability
Slip and fall, inadequate security, and injuries on commercial property. Nearly every contested premises case turns on notice: whether the owner knew or reasonably should have known about the hazard. Sweep logs, inspection records and surveillance video answer that question, and video usually overwrites within days.
Read more →Workplace Injuries
Texas is the only state where private employers may opt out of workers’ compensation. If your employer is a non-subscriber, it can be sued directly for negligence and loses its common law defenses. Third-party claims against contractors, property owners and equipment manufacturers may also apply.
Read more →Dram Shop Liability
Texas allows a claim against a bar, restaurant or venue that serves someone who is obviously intoxicated to the point of presenting a clear danger, where that intoxication proximately causes injury. Because a commercial liquor liability policy is far larger than a driver's minimum limits, it is often the difference between a nominal recovery and one that covers long-term care.

When a business relationship breaks down
Typically hourly or hybrid fee arrangements, discussed openly at the outset.
Insurance Litigation
First-party coverage disputes against your own carrier: denials, underpayment, unreasonable delay and bad faith claim handling. Texas provides statutory remedies beyond the policy value, including additional damages and fees in appropriate cases, because otherwise delay would cost an insurer nothing.
Read more →Business Disputes
Partnership and LLC disputes, breach of fiduciary duty, owner deadlock and judicial winding up under the Texas Business Organizations Code. The company agreement usually controls more than owners expect, so reading it carefully comes before deciding whether litigation is the right instrument.
Read more →Contract Litigation
Breach of contract claims for businesses and individuals, including non-payment, construction and change order disputes, services and supply agreements, and personal guaranties. Texas allows recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees on a valid contract claim, which changes the settlement calculus substantially.

When you need protection
Flat fee for most families, agreed before any work starts.
