They threaten everything you've built. With nearly 30 years of litigation experience — including an AmLaw 100 firm and in-house counsel at a Fortune 100 company — I've seen these disputes from every side. And I handle your case personally.
You went into business to build something. Maybe you took on a partner, signed a major contract, brought on investors, or acquired property. It was supposed to work. Now it hasn't — and the consequences are real. Revenue is affected, relationships are damaged, and you're spending time on a legal problem instead of running your business.
Business disputes are rarely simple. There are contracts to interpret, financial records to untangle, fiduciary duties to examine, and often personal relationships that make everything harder. What you need is an attorney who has handled these situations before and can help you think through your options clearly — whether that means a negotiated resolution or taking it to court.
That's the core of what I do, and I've been doing it since 1997. I handle every case myself, so you're working directly with the attorney who knows your situation.
When partners or co-owners disagree on the direction of a business, on financial decisions, or on who contributed what — it can paralyze the company. I represent business owners in disputes over management control, profit distribution, buyouts, and dissolution.
A contract exists so both sides know what to expect. When one side doesn't deliver — whether it's a vendor, a client, a partner, or a service provider — the financial damage can be significant. I handle breach of contract claims from demand letter through trial, working to recover what you're owed or defend against claims that don't hold up.
A key employee leaves and takes your client relationships, your proprietary information, or your trade secrets with them. Maybe they're violating a non-compete or soliciting your customers. These situations move fast and the damage compounds quickly. I help business owners take decisive legal action to protect what they've built.
Lease conflicts, purchase agreement breaches, title disputes, development disagreements, and landlord-tenant conflicts involving commercial properties. When significant real estate value is at stake, the litigation often involves complex financial analysis and multiple parties — that's where experience matters.
Someone lied to you in a business deal. They misrepresented the financials, concealed material information, or made promises they never intended to keep. Fraud claims in Texas have specific legal requirements, and proving them demands both litigation skill and the ability to trace financial deception through records and testimony.
When a substantial amount of money is owed to you or your business — and demand letters and patience haven't worked — it's time to take it to court. I handle high-value collection matters where the stakes justify litigation and the debtor needs to understand you're serious.
A lot of attorneys handle business disputes as one of many things they do. They drafted your contract last year, and now they're litigating the breach. The problem is that transactional work and litigation are fundamentally different skill sets. Drafting a contract requires precision. Litigating a dispute requires strategy, pressure, and the ability to operate in a courtroom.
Before building my own practice, I spent years handling commercial litigation at an AmLaw 100 firm, and I served as in-house litigation counsel at a Fortune 100 company. That combination means I've seen business disputes from every angle — as outside counsel litigating them, and as the business trying to manage them. I know what it's like to sit where you're sitting.
If you're a business owner in Dallas-Fort Worth facing a dispute that could seriously affect your company, I'd welcome the chance to talk it through with you. No obligation, no pressure — just an honest assessment from someone who's been doing this since 1997.
I'll give you an honest read on where things stand and what your options are.
