- Obtained significant decision with respect to arbitration policies in Moran v. Ceiling Fans Direct, Inc., No. 06-20810, 239 Fed. Appx. 931 (5th Cir., 2007). Under Texas law, notice of a change in the terms of employment must be "unequivocal' to be effective, both in its nature and its certainty, according to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Accordingly, a Texas employer could not enforce an arbitration agreement where the employees were not given "unequivocal" notice of the change in terms.

- Represented a male employee in a sexual harassment and retaliation claim against a major manufacturer of drilling equipment after the EEOC stage. We negotiated a fruitful settlement on behalf of the client.
