I can provide a nuanced understanding of criminal defense law and have a proven track record of achieving excellent results for my clients. Phone calls are cheap. Call me for a quick consultation.. I have  been licensed to practice law in Texas since 1976, Board Certified in Criminal Defense Law by the Texas State Board of Legal Specialization since 1990 and have consistently delivered winning results for clients charged with offenses ranging from DWI to Capital Murder over the course of my career.. I am admitted to practice in the Federal Courts for the Southern, Northern, Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, the United States Courts of Appeals for the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits and the Supreme Court of the United States. I am well schooled in the trial of cases in State and Federal Court and am zealous in the representation of my clients. I look forward to the opportunity to visit with you soon.

I have been practicing bankruptcy for the majority of my legal career.  In 2016, I co-founded Gordon Lusky, LLP in Houston, Texas.  Throughout my practice, I have represented both debtors and creditors.  However, I primarily represent debtors and take satisfaction making a difference in my client's lives by relieving the stress related to their debt issues.. I am not a mass filer of bankruptcy cases.  I recognize the value of providing individual attention to each client and the specificities of their case.  By taking a limited number of cases, I am able to give each client the time and attention they deserve.  All of my clients deal directly with me, as opposed to paralegals or other staff.. If you have any questions regarding your situation and whether I can help, give me a call.  My initial consultations are free and there is no obligation to move forward.

I have been handling Social Security disability cases since 1993.  However, I have been handling disability cases exclusively since 1998.  Morgan & Weisbrod is a leader in Social Securtiy disability law.  For more information about me or Morgan & Weisbord, please review our website at .

I have been a criminal defense lawyer my entire career.  I have spent my entire adult life fighting for my clients' rights. For the past 38 years I have defended people accused of crimes ranging from murder to drug conspiracies.  I understand that clients accused of a crime want their case dismissed and they want to get back to their lives.  I follow a simple philosophy.  If a man is not guilty he should plead not guilty and fight for his liberty.  It is my job to do everything I can to save my clients' liberty.

I grew up in North East Texas before coming to Houston to study law. After graduating from law school I began to practice law on my own and have since had the opportunity to help hundreds of clients deal with personal injury matters of all kinds. I truly enjoy what I do.

I am honored to accept referrals and confidential inquiries from private practitioners, corporate counsel, professionals, or executives who need advice, trial counsel, someone to lead an internal investigation, or to assist them with other corporate governance matters. I work closely with other counsel to ensure that clients are getting appropriate advice.. A little more about me and my beliefs. I'm also an author, leader, and a part-time academic. While I stay quite busy with my professional obligations, there is far more to life than being an attorney--which can be an all-consuming profession. I value time with my family and consider myself to be, more importantly, a loving husband, father, and a Christian. And, from having worked since my teens, I appreciate the importance of hard work and in taking pride in what I do.. So much is at stake when people hire a lawyer that nothing less than giving it your best is sufficient. That does not mean, however, that an attorney must be a jerk to be effective. Instead, being an effective advocate means caring about your client, being professional and courteous other lawyers, and with court personnel, and government officials.. I put myself through law school while working full time. Later in my career, when I reached a very advanced position at a young age within the federal government as a prosecutor, I felt I needed to put my skills and experience to their best use--which led me into private practice. Before doing so, however, I returned to law school and obtained an advanced degree (an LL.M. in Tax Law) while working full time.. I was recruited into a blue chip firm in Houston, and a friend convinced me to get another LL.M. (Health Law) to further hone my knowledge and skills in this arcane area of practice. After obtaining this third law degree, I have maintained my ties with academia by teaching as much as my time permits.. At bottom, I am a blessed individual. I have many good friends and colleagues, a wonderful family, and believe that I have been blessed with the God-given talent and strength to serve others effectively. I still have the passion and desire to excel and to leverage my skills to the best of my abilities..

I am a trial lawyer dedicated to helping executives and others protect their rights. You worked hard for your position, salary, and benefits (stock, health insurance, etc.), and I'll work just as hard to protect them. Since 1994, our Firm has negotiated thousands of settlements, including severance packages, for executives, "c"-level officers, senior-level management, and others. You will want a seasoned trial lawyer handling your negotiations from the beginning so that you are fully protected in the event you find yourself in litigation -- which is typically an avenue of last resort. You will also want an attorney undaunted by the people trampling your rights. I have taken the depositions of CEOs, judges, mayors, police chiefs, company owners, chairmen of boards of directors, and others who oftentimes act like they are above the law. This experience is a reality check for many when they are called to task under oath and the truth is exposed. Since graduating from South Texas College of Law in 1993, I'd say that, other than negotiating settlements, the cross examination of witnesses (at trial and at deposition) is my favorite thing to do.Of equal import, our Firm has a great reputation among employment defense lawyers in Texas and across the United States. We have worked hard since establishing the Firm in 1994 to earn and protect our good name, so we know what's at stake when your employer attempts to take yours from you. Although some of our case successes are listed on this web site, feel free to call me to discuss our Firm's specific experience handling cases involving issues such as yours. For example, just recently I won a $3.2 million sexual harassment verdict against a former judge. For that victory, I was named "Litigator of the Week" by Texas Lawyer. I also have the honor of having handled a whistleblower lawsuit involving the City of Houston, Texas, which resulted in what I believe is the largest such jury verdict against the City. My client, Sam Levingston, was awarded in excess of $1.2 million, plus attorney's fees. I have also successfully handled multi-state class action claims against Starbucks and Brinker International. These are not meant to be fully inclusive, nor as guarantees of success, but are a reflection of the commitment I make to each case I accept. Whether your issue involves Sarbanes-Oxley, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, state-enacted whistleblower laws, discrimination, breach of employment contracts, or wage violations (including class actions), I will dedicate the Firm's resources to protect your rights.Although I was born in Chicago, the fine State of Texas has been my home since 1977. I am licensed to practice law in Texas, and in other federal jurisdictions. If a case involves people or issues in other states, we'll travel or retain local counsel to ensure we are on a level playing field. No matter what you decide, I want you to find counsel with whom you fit. You should select a law firm with deep, relevant experience. Please call or email me so that we can explore whether Shellist Lazarz Slobin, LLP can be of assistance.

I am a native Texan, raised in an East Texas town called Warren.  My wife is Tiffany, and we have two young sons named Jaxon and Ford.  We live in Kingwood, Texas, and our kids attend public school in the district for which my wife works.. I attended the Warren schools from kindergarten through 12th grade and graduated valedictorian in my class.  I then attended Lamar University in Beaumont on an academic scholarship and graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's in political science and an English minor.. In 1998, I began teaching and coaching.  During the next nine years I taught primarily English and served as head basketball coach and tennis coach in Texas high schools.. In 2007, I quit teaching and began attending the Texas Tech School of Law on a full academic scholarship.  In 2010, I graduated summa cum laude, passed the bar, and was admitted to practice law in Texas.. Since then, I have had the honor to work with fantastic lawyers in Lubbock, Beaumont, and Houston, where I have been since 2012.  I work for Mark Lanier, who is regarded by many as the best trial lawyer in the nation.  I work primarily for our briefing team in the Issues and Appeals section.  In that role, I have been fortunate enough to prepare legal briefing in numerous complex matters, including antitrust, general commercial litigation, international arbitration disputes, pharmaceutical and medical device cases, general personal injury, and many more.  In many of these matters, I have argued the issues, dispostive and non-dispositive, at the hearing or oral argument.. As a longtime cancer survivor, I know what it is like to look death in the eye.  I believe that surviving cancer gave me a faith in God and a strength that makes me fear nothing.  In my practice, I never fear a task or opposing counsel, and I always work as hard and as intelligently as possible to further our clients' interests.
