Houston Managing Bankruptcy Attorney
-
Jan 2013 - Jun 2013
I managed and took over the firm's Bankruptcy Law practice in Houston, Galveston and the Rio Grande Valley. Now with that this law practice has been fully integrated into my own law firm, I continue to represent worthy consumers and small businesses who need a fresh start. Successful mergers and acquisitions take a lot of skill to perform well. A good sign was when 97% of the customers decided to remain with me at my own law firm.

Bankruptcy and Trial Attorney
-
May 1998 - Oct 2007
Trial and appellate law practice. Started a bankruptcy practice at the Kubosh law firm and then moved this bankruptcy practice to my own law firm in order to allow it to grow further. Spin-offs are done for a variety of reasons, and often we hear about them when a subsidiary is not doing well. In this case it was the opposite as the bankruptcy practice was thriving and needed to be under its own entity in order to realize the best rate of growth. It has since been taken to new levels.
