Our Team

---

Art was initially trained by some of the best lawyers in Houston, with big name law firms. Partners who are board certified in civil trial law, and appellate law.  In his roles as an associate and former in house attorney for a nationwide insurance company, he gained valuable and practical trial experience which is rare among the younger lawyers. 

In his role as a trial lawyer, Art has taken and defended well over 90 depositions, tried several cases as first chair and second chair, and has learned tactics which will knock a witness back to his heels, and make them think twice about being untruthful under oath. 

He has experience representing insurance carriers in catastrophic personal injury, and wrongful death cases. Similarly, Art has assisted in several insurance coverage disputes, ranging from minor car wrecks to million-dollar claims.  Art has pre-trial and very real trial experience, all of which ranges from contested motion hearings, complex dispositive motion practice, taking and defending depositions, pre-trial proceedings, picking juries, presenting and cross-examining witnesses, and arguing the jury charge. 

He has also assisted in trials involving a mixed bag of issues, including breach of contract, fraud, DTPA, personal injury claims, and trade secrets.  

Art prides himself in representing the client, having an incorruptible sense of integrity, to both the Court and adversaries, and establishing a reputation for getting the case resolved, not dragging it out.
