Via my brother John's blog,
Wondering Thoughts, let's call this off-topic post a point of personal privilege to boast that
my father was named to Texas Monthly's list of "Super Lawyers" this year! Congratulations, Dad! John wrote:
My dad, a.k.a--"Affidavit Face," is in the recent Texas Monthly, showing up on the list of Super Lawyers 2007. Here is the listing in the magazine, stating what everyone has known for 40 years!

ReplyDeleteproud and your Father honored !

ReplyDeleteOrder up select bottle of conqac and a couple of Ashton cigars.
ReplyDeleteCelebrate his 40 years as a practicing attorney. He's got stories.
What kind of lawyer is he? Is he a criminal lawyer?
ReplyDeleteNo, he does corporate defense, product liability, did a lot of asbestosis stuff when it was big, and the firm has represented a lot of prominent E. TX oil and gas interests for many years. I think now they're doing more intellectual property stuff over in Marshall - tort reform changed their case load quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to gritsy's dad. At least you got one son on the right path.

Congrats to you and your dad, Grits! Obviously, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. :)
