Firm Overview

Resolving Consumer And Commercial Law Disputes For Texas Clients
It is impossible to guard completely against the unexpected. We purchase insurance to protect our families and run our businesses in compliance with the laws, but disputes can still arise. Often, families find themselves fighting insurance coverage denial or delayed payment. Business leaders become the victims of breached contracts and broken promises.

At my Austin law firm, I am committed to helping families, individuals and businesses resolve disputes and receive fair treatment under the law. My law practice is focused exclusively on dispute resolution. I litigate and negotiate the settlement of insurance claims such as auto insurance, life insurance, health insurance and homeowners' insurance and other civil claims, including claims under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, breach of contract, real estate disputes and collections.
My clients include individuals and small- and mid-sized companies in the Austin area and throughout Texas. I know that the business leaders I represent do not have unlimited resources to throw at each and every dispute they face, and I offer legal counsel accordingly.

I work closely and talk candidly with my clients, discussing the costs of litigation and the strengths and weaknesses of their cases. My legal counsel focuses on the most efficient way to resolve a case, by either litigating or settling it.

A Board Certified Trial Lawyer With More Than 20 Years Of Experience
Large law firms are not a good fit for everyone. For many businesses, it is much more efficient and effective to hire an experienced attorney such as myself. I have more than 20 years of experience and am board certified in consumer and commercial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I have an extensive history of accomplishment in legally and factually complex civil legal matters. But, because I run my own law firm, I am able to handle these cases in a cost-effective manner without the high overhead that large firms carry.

What's more, clients who retain me gain the benefit of working directly with the experienced lawyer they hired. At large law firms, clients are often forced to work with inexperienced associates and paralegals. My clients can contact me directly with their questions. I work closely to accomplish their goals quickly and cost-effectively.

Communication is critical to the success of your case. That is why I make sure that you can always call me or contact me by email. I make sure that my clients are kept informed throughout their cases. They receive copies of important documents and correspondence, so they always know exactly where they stand.

Personal Service From an Austin Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer

Insurance companies promise to be there for you when times are hard. They sell you a policy and collect premiums, but sometimes do not deliver on the policy's assurances. This is known as insurance bad faith.

At my firm, I will help you accurately evaluate your bad faith insurance claim and forcefully pursue justice on your behalf. I am always responsive to your needs, and make it a point to return phone calls within one business day. Because I am a solo practitioner, your case will never be passed to a paralegal or junior associate but will receive the personal attention it deserves.

Affordable, Experienced Advocacy
Denied insurance claims can have a profound and lasting effect on financial stability. For this reason, I strive to make my practice accessible. You will not be charged for an initial case evaluation, and are always considered for flexible compensation arrangements. Should I discover that your matter does not merit legal action, I will provide you with a thorough explanation and assist you in understanding your position.

Since my early days as a law clerk, insurance has been the focus of my practice. Over the years, I have successfully handled hundreds of claims on behalf of policyholders and am committed to favorably resolving your matter.
