Our team

Six people, three desks, one case file

You meet one lawyer first and keep that lawyer, even when your case needs help from another office.

How we work

What stays the same in every office

  • The same lawyer throughout

    The lawyer you meet first stays your lawyer, and answers your calls.

  • One file, three desks

    Every office sees the same notes, so a Plano visit and a Dallas hearing tell one story.

  • Plain updates

    A short note when something happens and a call when there is a decision to make.

  • Employees only

    We have never represented an employer in these matters, and we do not take them.
