“After taking business transactions apart in the courtroom for more than twenty years, clients (and opponents) began asking me to work on their transactions from the front and prevent the ten most common problems from ever occurring in the first place.”

I am the San Antonio business lawyer who works with people in buying and selling businesses, planning for the future, and to get out of financial trouble.
Buying a business? We can help you.
Looking for an Exit Strategy? We can help you.
Ready to sell your business? Want to get the best sales price? We can help you.
Looking to start your own business? We know what not to do (and what to do). We can help you.
In financial trouble? We can help you chart a course out.
For the last thirty years, I have tried cases for plaintiffs and defendants in State and Federal courts from California to Texas to Delaware. I have been the advocate for individuals and small companies as well as companies in the Fortune 100. Those litigation cases have ranged from representing thousands of homeowners for broken plastic pipe in their homes to oil royalty disputes to breach of confidentiality agreements.
After literally taking business transactions apart in the courtroom for years, clients (and opponents) began asking me to work on the transactions from the beginning to try to prevent the problems from ever occurring. In that stance, I have helped buyers and sellers in the sales of businesses ranging from large retail stores and manufacturing facilities to insurance agencies. I have helped clients buy multi-million dollar, multi-story office buildings and and negotiate commercial lease agreements.

I help design corporate structures and business transactions to increase profit, minimize taxes, and make sure that assets are protected from lawsuits. Having filed many suits and obtain judgments, I have learned where the potholes will be.
My business advice programs are based on regular review and meetings in order to get to know the client’s business and plans in more depth than is possible in the normal “hire a lawyer only when in trouble”. It will cost a lot more for me to get you out of trouble than it would cost to keep you out of trouble in the first place.
I have been named a SuperLawyer in Texas and featured in Texas Monthly.
My lawyer peers have granted me “AV” which is Martindale Hubbell’s (rating agency) highest peer rating for lawyers.
I have presented papers and spoken to audiences that range from service clubs to the State Bar of Texas Continuing Legal Education seminars. I was recently named Individual Finalist, San Antonio Ethics In Business Award, 2009 by the San Antonio Business Journal.
