The benefits of hiring a small law firm.
Working with a small firm is much more rewarding than working with a large law firm for both the client and the attorney. It allows you to establish a personal relationship with me, and not worry about an inexperienced lawyer being assigned your case, as often happens at larger firms.

It allows me to decide what type of cases I handle and to take full responsibility for my choices. I do not have any minimum billing requirements, nor do I have to justify the amount of time I spend on a case to anyone except my client. This commitment and accountability gives you a level of personal service you will not find at large law firms.

College of the State Bar:
Continuous Member Since 1984
The College of the State Bar of Texas recognizes lawyers who participate in continuing legal education to maintain and enhance their professional skills and the quality of their service to the public. The State Bar mandates that every lawyer completes fifteen hours of continuing legal education each year.

The College of the State Bar doubles that requirement to thirty hours per year. Historically, only about eight percent of the attorneys in Texas are able to meet the tough requirements for membership in the College of the State Bar of Texas.

I qualified for the College of the State Bar of Texas in 1984 and have maintained my membership every year since.

Grievance Committee Service
The District Grievance Committees of the Texas Bar Association are designed to assess written complaints and enforce the Rules of Disciplinary Procedure. The Committees review the classified written complaints, and hold various types of hearings, some where testimony is under oath, and some informal, to determine if there is Just Cause to believe that the lawyer under complaint has shown professional misconduct.

If there is evidence of Just Cause, the Respondent (accused) attorney may elect to have his or her case heard before an Evidentiary Panel of the District Grievance Committees to determine whether misconduct occurred and, if so, the appropriate sanction.

I served as an active member for three years, then as Chairman of the 4-E-15 Grievance Panel for three years.
