I am a first generation American and lifelong Houstonian.

When you come to me after an accident, I will answer all of your questions and provide you with as much information as possible to help you with your injury claim.  My law firm has written many books on accident and injury issues, and if I feel any of these books will help you, I will give you the appropriate books for free.  I do not require you to hire me or my law firm before I provide you with free answers to your questions, as well as these free materials.  In addition, if you request, I will review your injury case for free, with no obligations.  

If you want to do more research on your own concerning your injury claim, I recommend you study this website, which we update on a daily basis.  Also, you may visit the following additional Internet resources that are constantly updated by our law firm:  The Houston Accident Attorney, Maritime Accident Attorney, The Maritime Lawyer, Jones Act Book.

If you want to hire us and if we accept your case, you will not owe us anything unless and until you win compensation in your lawsuit. 

I am Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization ("TBLS"), a certification held by 2% of all attorneys in Texas.  What does "Board Certified" mean?  Click here for the answer provided by the TBLS.  Why choose a Board Certified lawyer?  The TBLS recommends hiring a Board Certified lawyer for several reasons.  For example, the TBLS states Board Certification is a "mark of excellence" and a "distinguishing accomplishment."

I am also a member of The Texas Association of Civil Trial and Appellate Specialists.

National legal publisher Verdict Search honored me and our lawyer Sean Cichowski by including our jury verdict in a truck accident case among the "Top 100 Verdicts of the Year" in Texas in 2010.

I began my law practice with the international law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon, one of the largest law firms in the world. At this firm, I worked on product liability lawsuits brought against the major tobacco and pharmaceutical companies, and worked on a wide variety of commercial matters.
