As a Board-Certified Personal Injury Attorney, I stand ready to try cases in any Court in Texas; however, most cases settle. My 30 plus years as a certified mediator make me uniquely qualified to assist in the settlement of all cases. As I have reviewed medical records for my entire career, I have become adept at representing Southeast Texas before the Social Security Administration on Disability claims.
