Let's Pound the Law together.
After retiring from the practice of law, I have logged over 2,000 hours tutoring law students. My approach is contextual, and I do not believe in “hiding the ball.” I have only recently added Wyzant as one of my tutoring platforms.

Let's Pound the Law together.
After retiring from the practice of law, I have logged over 2,000 hours tutoring law students. My approach is contextual, and I do not believe in “hiding the ball.” I have only recently added Wyzant as one of my tutoring platforms. I have tutored students from around the country, guiding them through Contracts, Torts, Legal Writing, Property, Federal Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, Evidence, Constitutional Law, Professional Responsibilities, Probate, Wills & Estates, Business Law, Family Law, and other curricula. I recently mentored a student through the Louisiana Civil Law Bar Exam.
I am an accomplished and recognized writer. Clients, opponents, judges, professors, and colleagues have applauded the clarity and persuasiveness of my legal writing. I have a passion for helping students organize and express themselves, whether it be essays, exams, petitions, motions, or appellate briefs. Good writing is not hard. Just take a breath and slow down a bit. Regardless of your writing proficiency, I can help.
I spent 39 years practicing law in small firms and big firms. In the 1990s, I was a partner in the then-largest law firm in the State of Texas before opening my own firm. Unlike many other attorneys, I always did trial work and transactional work. My state and federal trial and appellate work was in Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Louisiana. In 2020, I was proud to submit a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. My transactional projects were located in Texas, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Maryland, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, and Arkansas. The substantive areas of the law I focused on were constitutional law, real estate, business contracts, business torts prosecution, construction law, administrative law, employment law, trade secrets, and many others.

Law

After practicing law for 39 years before my retirement, I have learned a great deal about legal writing. Legal writing does not require “magic. What is needed is a direct, straightforward approach to being clear, concise, and persuasive. I am an accomplished and recognized legal writer. My legal writing started with a law review publication of a voting rights Case Note I wrote in law school in 1982 and continued through the submission of a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court in 2020. Clients, opponents, judges, professors, colleagues, and students have applauded the clarity and persuasiveness of my legal writing. Whether IRAC, TRI-RAC, or even Star-Trak, legal writing is telling a story. Good writing is not hard. Just take a breath and slow down a bit. Regardless of your writing proficiency, I can help you.
