About

Bob has handled a variety of complex lawsuits in Texas and many other U.S. states, some of which have involved seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements. In fact, together with his colleagues, he helped obtain a $67,470,000 unanimous verdict on behalf of a paralyzed client in 2015, one of the largest jury verdicts in the United States that year.

That trial resulted in a jury verdict in excess of $17 million, one of the largest verdicts in the state of Texas that year.  In 2011 he helped represent the family of a young man who was nearly cut in half in a forklift rollover. That trial resulted in one of the largest workplace accident verdicts in Texas in 2011.  More recently he was honored to be one of the lawyers representing the family of Sandra Bland in their litigation against the Texas Department of Public Safety and the county jail where Sandra died--a suit which not only resulted in a considerable monetary settlement for her family but which also led to permanent changes in jail policies and procedures.  Bob also gives lectures on legal topics at seminars around the United States and Canada and conferences and has been featured on television news programs.
