Unparalleled Experience
Having worked as a CPA for Price Waterhouse before I went to law school at the University of Texas, I have a real-world understanding of my clients' challenges, including the negative impact of disputes. For over 30 years, I have directly represented small businesses as a solo practicing attorney in Austin. See my attorney profile for additional background.
My long-term legal assistant, Lynne Rathman, also understands the business world. She worked for high-tech companies for over a decade, operated her own company and handled several large estates. Her Texas Tech education provides additional advantage to clients in effective application of technology for larger cases.
The Service Only Found at a Small Firm
As a solo attorney I don't have the overhead of comparable representation at a major law firm. That means no junior associates juggling your case, no layers of lawyers to get answers to questions. You work directly with me, start to finish. I file the motions. I draft the contracts. I try the cases.
Business transactions change as they develop and disputes require positive action, not just responses to the other side. I am accessible and flexible, returning phone calls and e-mails immediately. You are served by a team accustomed to long hours, doing what it takes to meet a litigation deadline or close a deal.
You will not sacrifice quality and sophistication by choosing our team. I am listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers and have the highest rating (AV*) for competence and character under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review system. I have served as an expert witness in estate law, corporate law, tax law, and business valuation. In lawsuits I have secured results as high as five million dollars. I have structured and closed transactions worth tens of millions, including triangular transactions, money center transactions and international transactions.
