Jeff primarily handles and manages nationwide litigation issues. At the present time, Jeff is a relationship manager to a major pharmaceutical client. He also handles general liability and commercial matters.

One of Jeff's interests is in designing alternative fee arrangements (AFAs) and other mechanisms that assist clients in efficiently meeting today's challenges, with the same high quality legal work maintained.

Previously, Jeff was responsible for a voluminous case load at the Texas State Attorney General’s office. This included handling all aspects of the cases, including going to trial as first or second chair. Jeff’s caseload was almost exclusively made up of medical malpractice cases, although he also handled automobile and premises liability matters.
