AttorneysNo. 03
The people doing the work.
Four attorneys and two specialists. The attorney you meet at your consultation leads your matter, with the others brought in where their focus helps.
Attorneys
-
Founding partner

Owen runs discovery: subpoenas, sworn inventories and the long work of matching statements to stories. He is the reason exhibits in our cases fit on one page.

Alongside the attorneys No. 02
Two people you will hear from.

In-house financial analyst
Lena Marsh
With the firm since 2016
Lena builds the spreadsheets every settlement depends on. She is not a testifying expert; when a case needs one, we hire an independent firm and Lena makes sure it has what it needs.
-
Client coordinator
Teodora Ruiz
With the firm since 2012
Teodora is usually the first voice you hear. She runs the conflict check, books the consultation, and knows never to leave a detailed voicemail unless you have said it is safe.
Who will handle my case?
We match each matter to the attorney whose focus fits it best: Margaret for contested cases likely to need a courtroom, Adrian where a company or equity compensation is at the centre, Nadia for agreements and collaborative work, and Owen for discovery-heavy cases. Rates are listed on the fees page.
All attorneys are licensed in Texas. Licence dates shown are for this fictional demonstration only.
