About Dennis

I believe in the jury system. I believe that every person who has been wronged is entitled to assert their case before a jury of their peers. This is not just the foundation of our legal system. It is everything.

I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Tulane University and cum laude from the University of Houston Law School. I am board-certified in Civil Trial Law and Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I am licensed to practice law in Texas and New Mexico.

My experience as a college athlete at Tulane University taught me the meaning of being prepared and fighting for my clients. I gained valuable trial experience as an assistant district attorney in Beaumont and Houston, where I prosecuted 80 criminal jury trials to verdict. I learned the value of meticulous investigation of the facts as a Special Agent in the FBI.

I spent eight years defending insurance companies and big corporations as a trial lawyer for the second-largest law firm in El Paso. My position there was largely that of a defensive coordinator, defending my clients against claims. I have spent the last 32 years of my career as a plaintiff’s lawyer, representing injured people and their families against insurance companies and big corporations. My position now is that of an offensive coordinator. I use every technique I learned from defending insurance companies to gain leverage for my clients. Having stood in the shoes of a defense attorney, I can anticipate what my opponents will do and take steps to counter their moves.
