Jeff’s legal career began at the very heart of appellate work in Texas: after law school, he clerked in the First Court of Appeals in Houston, just as the historic Pennzoil Co. v. Texaco case was taking place. Houston quickly became a major epicenter for appellate matters, and Jeff soon focused his practice exclusively on litigating appeals.

A natural researcher and writer, Jeff enjoys complex legal issues including business disputes, media defense, probate matters, political controversies and bankruptcy issues. His passion is difficult cases, and the nature of appeals often means that he works with the same case for years at a time. He aims to develop long-term relationships with clients, and he’s proud of the successful resolutions he has reached on many complex matters.

Jeff has a true talent for grasping the legal questions and arguments on both sides of a case, and his tendency toward perfectionism means that he understands the case exceptionally well. This understanding and perspective help him develop the best argument possible: clients often say that Jeff tells their story better than they could ever tell it themselves.
