I am a member of the State Bar of Texas, the State Bar of California, the American Bar Association and is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. I am currently serving on the Advisory Board for the University of Texas at Austin, Cockrell School of Engineering, and a member of the Chancellor’s Council of the University of Texas. In the November, 2011 issue of the Dallas Business Journal, I received special recognition by being selected for Who’s Who in Dallas, Houston, Pittsburgh Energy. I have been practicing law for over 40 years. Early in my career I was mainly practice in corporate transactional law for several large energy companies. I was responsible for negotiating and drafting numerous multi-million dollar contracts, both domestic and international. Later I acted as general counsel for more modestly sized energy companies where I handled a multitude of legal issues that arise in operating a dynamic business. In 2008 the company I was employed by was acquired and I entered the private practice of law forming Boss Law. I have focused primarily on Estate planning, and Probate. Recently, I obtained additional training in a new and improved way to perform estate planning from the Family Wealth Planning Institute. Upon completion I received their designation as a Personal Family Lawyer®, and I now devote the majority of my practice to assisting families and individuals with their estate planning needs.
