Background: I began my professional career as an independent landman preparing title runsheets throughout Texas and assisting in the acquisition and divestiture of numerous pipelines and gathering systems. I used this invaluable experience as the foundation of my legal career in the oil and gas industry, providing my clients with pragmatic and efficient legal assistance. I have authored hundreds upon hundreds of title opinions of all sorts and drafted and provided analysis on every type of instrument utilized in the industry. This experience provided a natural extension of my practice into real estate law, estate matters and business formation and transactions. I strive to provide meticulous, sensible and cost-effective solutions and work product on every matter that crosses my desk. Call or email me today and let's discuss your legal needs.
