- Our client, Kansas State Company, was sued by an architect in Dallas County, Texas for alleged unpaid iinvoices for design and construction of restuarants in the state of Kansas. The architect argued that the Kansas State Company knew that its architectural services would be performed in Dallas County, Texas and that it did peform a substantial portion of its services in Dallas County, Texas. The Kansas State Company file a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. The trial court denied the motion sua sponte. I appealed the ruling and argued in the 5th Court of Appeals. The appeals court reveresed and rendered in favor of our client Kansas State Company dismissing all claims.

- I represented a Texas personnell agency that introduced a Candidate to an an Alabama State University Hospital for an interview. The Hospital offered the job to the Candidate. She was not able to accept. Months later, the Candidate appeared again, but through a different agency. On her Second Interview the Candidate was offered the job again. She accepted the job this time. Our client learned this through communications and sent a demand letter for payment of the personnell fee. The Hospital denied the demand for 2 reasons: 1) they claimed governmental immunity; and 2) that there was no contract. We filed a claim with the State of Alabama and had the administrative hearing in Alabama. We argued and presented evidence claiming that the agreement consisted of emails, attachments and directions for placement by the Hospital. The State of Alabama agreed and our client was awarded their entire personnell placement fee., 2012
