I am a trial lawyer representing plaintiffs and defendants in litigation, arbitrations and appeals, in both state and federal courts, and various arbitral conventions.  I also am selected on occasion to act as an arbitrator, often nominated by former opposing counsel.  Having first obtained a Fifth Circuit clerkship, I joined Baker Botts, where I became a trial partner. In 1995 I co-founded a litigation boutique that went from 3 partners to 24 attorneys.  Upon its amicable dissolution I joined some of my former partners in Murphy Ball Stratton LLP in 2024 and continued my practice.  We have a firm of highly credentialed attorneys who handle civil and white-collar matters.  Our small size means fewer conflicts.
