Bob is Managing Partner of the Dallas office and a seasoned commercial litigator with a national practice. A strategist and a problem solver, he sets out in every matter to fully understand his client's business objectives to formulate the best path forward.

For Bob’s clients, he is the first call whether the issue is a contract dispute, an expansion into a new market, a difficult employment issue or a simple request to review an agreement before execution.

Commercial Litigation
Bob understands that the measure of a good litigator is how effectively he positions his clients to achieve the results they need — on their terms and their timeline.

He represents businesses of all sizes in complex commercial disputes throughout the United States, as well as in arbitration and mediation. His clients span industries including professional services, financial services, revenue cycle management, telecommunications, manufacturing, and construction. He handles a wide array of contractual disputes, damage recovery actions, and a broad range of business-to-business conflicts.

Bob has a track record of securing efficient and effective outcomes for his clients. He has obtained defense verdicts and summary judgments across a variety of case types and has secured significant damages for commercial plaintiffs by leveraging the litigation process strategically.

Business Competition and Injunctive Relief
Bob views emergency injunctive relief as a powerful tool for accelerating resolution. By seeking and obtaining temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions early in a dispute, he helps clients shut down harmful conduct immediately and create the conditions for a favorable resolution without protracted discovery and motion practice.

He has secured multiple emergency injunctions in trade secret and unfair competition disputes. His experience in this area covers a range of scenarios:

• Employees who leave with proprietary information and join a competitor
• Outside companies that copy a client's intellectual property
• Disputes where swift court intervention is the only way to prevent irreparable harm to a business

A Track Record of Success

Bob counsels, represents and defends a wide range of clients in complex commercial disputes. His successes in recent years include:

Defense of Manufacturer in Arbitration of Breach of Contract Claim
Defended a large-scale manufacturer against claims by an energy broker seeking approximately $15 million in commissions, alleging their work saved the client $30 million/year in energy costs at a single facility. Prevailed completely by proving savings were attributable to the client's own efforts. Week-long arbitration.

Recovery of Health Care Broker’s Damages in Arbitration of Breach of Contract Claim
Brought suit on behalf of a health care broker to recover commissions owed under service agreements. Prevailed on claims despite the opposing party's bad-faith defense. 3-Day arbitration.

Recovery for Telecomm’s Client’s Infrastructure Damages (ongoing)
Over several years, recovered millions of dollars for telecommunications companies for damage to underground infrastructure caused by third-party contractors.

Pre-judgment garnishment
Represented a telecommunications subcontractor owed over $1.5 million when the general contractor faced insolvency. Moved quickly to garnish accounts pre-judgment and then pursued and recovered additional sums from upstream contractors.

Manufacturing recovery
Represented a manufacturer after an explosion damaged an electrical transformer at a power plant. Identified that a maintenance contractor was responsible and recovered the million-dollar repair cost.
