About

I grew up around small businesses. One of my grandfathers was an insurance agent in Denton. My other set of grandparents owned a bookstore in Irving. My father ran a financial services company in north Dallas with about ten employees, and during high school I often worked in his office after classes. I spent my summers working on commercial construction sites and watching how each contractor depended on the others to perform their obligations.At Stanford I majored in economics, in part because of its importance to business. But for me the real draw was the way in which economics approaches decision making: How do you balance expected costs and benefits to get the best possible outcome when the future is not entirely clear? This is the same way that I approach life, including litigation.For over two decades, since completing law school at UT Austin, I have assisted business clients in a wide variety of situations including breach of contract; misrepresentation and fraud; transactions and investments; disputes with vendors, customers, and construction contractors; tenant evictions; repossessions, foreclosures, and collections; trade secrets; covenants not to compete; misappropriation of business opportunities; embezzlement by managers; disputes over business ownership and control; enforcement actions by government regulators; negotiating and drafting contracts for real estate sales, businesses acquisitions, and large financial transactions; and setting up new companies. A large portion of my practice follows these issues into bankruptcy court.Early in my career as an attorney I also spent two years working at a medical technology company with about 100 employees. There I drafted contracts, participated in employee terminations, and worked out the legal arguments that resulted in a $100 million antitrust settlement against a Fortune 500 competitor. Most importantly, during those two years I walked in the shoes of my clients as a customer of legal services purchased from outside law firms. I understand the concerns that my clients have when they entrust me with their legal work.Contact me at 940-300-3801 or at [email protected]

We have retained Kurt several times to defend us from the bankruptcy filings of others. Kurt has achieved each time exactly what he was retained to do while always providing timely updates and actively notifying us to when/where to appear and what we might could expect. As the need arises, we will continue to retain Kurt and recommend him for the needs of others.

Kurt has been handling our case now for several years and has done a great job in many ways most attorneys these days don't. He truly cares, takes the time to listen and fully engages in making sure every stone gets turned over prior to jumping to conclusions. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy attorney with years of experience!

Kurt was very easy to work with, accessible, and on target with his suggestions. He put us at ease with his good advise & knowledge of business buy-sells. Kurt helped write a contract that all parties were happy with. I would highly recommend Kurt.

Kurt, helped us out with our case and was on top of it 100% from day one. I felt like I was sitting with him discussing about the case consistently, he kept us informed regularly. He was very knowledgeable and explained every single detail to us which made us trust him blindly. He is very professional, warm and friendly. He was very honest at all times and that simple fact made us chose him as our lawyer right in the spot. Thank You Kurt for all your help and bringing back peace to our lives!

Earlier this year I was sued for the first time since owning my own business. Kurt helped make a very intimidating and overwhelming experience much, much less stressful and allowed me to focus on my business instead of the impending legal action. Kurt explained everything fully, laid out my options, and executed our plan superbly. And he did it in a very diplomatic way without making the other party look bad. I appreciated that since this was my business he was representing. He was very thorough and tried to get the the person bringing the suit to settle. In the end, we ended up going through the whole proceeding and prevailing. Kurt got all my legal fees covered and some additional monies awarded that I was not expecting. I will definitely seek Kurt out in the future if the need arises, and I will recommend him to everyone who asks me who they should talk to about legal matters.
