The Firm recently represented a renowned European Motocross World-Champion Racer in a plaintiff shareholder oppression case in South Texas seeking to recover millions of dollars in money damages and real estate for the company in which he owned an interest. The majority shareholder improperly transferred to herself as well as sold millions of dollars in real estate lots to companies in which she owned an interest to the detriment of our client and his interest in the company. After an extensive trial a jury verdict was issued in our client's favor with for 3.6 million dollars. The case then settled with the result that our client started with 25% of the company lot assets and end up with 60%.

He became AV-rated highest Martindale Hubbell after only seven years, and has been selected since its inception as one of the Top Rated lawyers in Texas. Our firm goes up against the largest firms, and many of the best firms in Texas and the United States and has an extraordinarily high rate of success for clients.

We have taken over several high-profile cases at the 11th hour weeks before trial.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?
The key to a successful attorney-client relationship is finding an attorney who: 1) has major successful experience in the type of dispute the prospective client has; 2) having the attorney candidly discuss the actual typical historical costs and pros and cons of undertaking a lawsuit and any alternative means of potential resolution; 3) negotiating a fee agreement that is fair to both the client and the firm.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Depending on the type of case, and whether, state or federal, anywhere from insignificant to a major factor. Local knowledge is helpful but not determinative of the success of a case.

A phone consolation is the first step in determining if the attorney and the potential client would be a good fit. If so, the attorney will provide instruction and options on how to proceed.
