Legal Services & Lawyers

Summary

I have led many difficult, sensitive representations in 27 years of practicing law and believe I have the talent, intellect, passion, energy, and communication skills that clients both want and need. While my nationwide practice focuses mainly on federal court matters, in each of my representations I try to be as efficient as possible by locating and focusing on the core issues involved. I interact effectively with government officials based on my years of service as a federal prosecutor. If a case must be tried, I am very comfortable with juries and judges from years of trying cases (having tried 100+ cases and having handled dozens of appeals)and teaching trial skills to lawyers and students.

I stay quite active in the legal community and have been selected by my peers for many leadership positions in professional organizations. I am also an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Houston Law Center (where I have taught Civil & Criminal Trial Advocacy, Food & Drug Law, and Antitrust & Health Law).

In addition to my J.D., I also have two LL.M. degrees (Tax and Health Law), have been Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and the National Board of Trial Advocacy since the late 1980's, and have spoken nationally (and internationally) and written about issues in antitrust, compliance, governance, health law, pharmaceutical law, securities law, and white collar defense (among others). I developed and am Editor-in-Chief of a pharmaceutical law treatise published by BNA and the ABA Section of Health Law in 2007 (now in supplementation). I have written many book chapters, dozens of articles, and blog on securities law issues (the FCPA, the subprime market collapse, and the broader financial market).

I also have been interviewed/quoted by many national media sources including AP; CBC, CNBC; Dallas Morning News; 48 Hours; Fox Financial, Health Channel; Houston Chronicle; National Law Journal; New York Law Journal; New York Times; Texas Lawyer; and USA Today.
