Summary
I'm an experienced litigator, part-time academic, and author who has handled many difficult and sensitive representations in 30 years of practicing law. My practice focuses mainly on federal court matters. I've long enjoyed a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent 5.0 Peer Review rating(the top rating available).
I am quite comfortable with juries and judges, having the experience that comes from years of trying cases (100+ cases as lead counsel), handling many appeals, and teaching trial skills to lawyers and students as an Adjunct Professor of Law and a faculty member for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy.
I am very active in the legal community and my peers have kindly selected me for various leadership positions in professional organizations. I am an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Houston Law Center (where I've taught Civil & Criminal Trial Advocacy, Food & Drug Law, and Antitrust & Health Law).
In addition to my J.D., I hold two LL.M. degrees (Tax and Health Law). Since the late 1980s, I have been Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and the National Board of Trial Advocacy. I have spoken nationally (and internationally), and have written about issues in antitrust, compliance and corporate governance, health law, pharmaceutical law, securities law (including the FCPA), and white collar defense. I developed and serve as Editor-in-Chief of a pharmaceutical law treatise published by BNA and the ABA's Section of Health Law in 2007 that is annually supplemented. I have written several book chapters, dozens of articles, and I sometimes blog about securities law issues (the FCPA, the subprime market collapse, and the broader financial market).
