I am a trial lawyer with over 30 years of experience. My practice is primarily tort defense in the areas of transportation, premises liability, employer liability, product liability and general liability. I have tried well over 50 jury trials to verdict. Although located in Dallas, I have a state wide practice with numerous lawsuits in adjoining states.

I graduated from Texas Tech University School of Law, Cum Laude, in 1981.  Since then I have been a partner of several Dallas defense firms including Cowles & Thompson for 10 years followed by Hermes Sargent Bates for 15 years.   Since June 2016, I am a partner at Sargent Law located in downtown Dallas, Texas.

At Sargent Law, I carry a mixed case load of transportation, premises, auto, general liability and non-subscriber cases.   I continue to try cases to verdict in the North Texas area.
