Tony worked for us over several years. He provided us with conscientious and extraordinary representation on political issues in Texas. Throughout his work, he proved his ability to work quickly as well as strategically. He is also very methodical in his work, leaving no stone unturned. In addition, he has clearly established a network that places him among the top ranks of representatives relating to Texas state government. This includes all branches of Texas State Government, as well as communication with numerous others that also can have an effect on the direction that Texas takes. Furthermore, when necessary, he was able to assemble a team that gave us the opportunity to be heard. While Tony does not automatically provide legal services with his representation, the fact that he is an attorney is a major plus. I think it is one the reasons he is so very well versed in the procedures of government and specifically the legislature. This is a tremendous advantage. It can be very helpful in working through the often complicated details of trying to get a bill passed as well as trying to avoid negative bills. In addition, when we did need legal advice from him as an attorney, we didn't have to explain all the detail over again to someone else. He was already familiar with our issues and concerns and could answer legal questions for us much more quickly than had we gone to another attorney. In essence, Tony is clearly one of the hardest working, meticulous, driven, and expert representatives that one could have in the Lone Star State.
