He has been recognized as a Diplomate of the American Board of Trial Advocates (a distinction held by only 29 of the 75,000 practicing lawyers in Texas). He is the youngest attorney with this distinction and the only Hispanic. He is a fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, a trial lawyers honorary society where membership is by invitation only based on trial accomplishments and is comprised of less than one half of 1% of all lawyers in the United States.

He is also Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. In 2006, he was lead plaintiff's counsel in a commercial litigation case where the trial lasted six months and resulted in a jury verdict of $699,000,000 (the second largest in the United States that year). In 2008, he obtained a defense verdict for Ford Motor Company in a product liability death case involving the Ford F-150. The plaintiffs sued for $15 million dollars but the jury awarded $0, finding no vehicle defect. It was the first case tried in the United States alleging a defect with the Ford F-150 for the failure to implement rollover activated air bags. In 2010, he obtained a defense verdict for a property management company in a negligent security case where an intoxicated bar patron ran over the plaintiff, severing his leg. The property had a prior murder and prior armed robbery. An adjacent property operated by the Defendant had 33 aggravated assaults in the year before the subject incident. The plaintiff sued for $12 million dollars but the jury awarded $0, finding no negligence. Also in 2010, he obtained a defense verdict for a company whose tractor-trailer driver struck and killed a pedestrian whose vehicle had broken down and who was on the shoulder of the roadway. The investigating officer assessed complete responsibility on the tractor-trailer driver, who admitted that he was fatigued and had only gotten four (4) hours of sleep the night before. The plaintiffs sued for $6 million dollars but the jury awarded $0, finding the decedent 100% negligent. His hobbies include hunting, fishing, adventure travel, photography, and mountain biking. He has traveled to each of the world's seven continents, including exploring North America, touring Europe, going on safari to Africa, hiking the mountains and jungles of South America, trekking through Asia, wandering about in Australia, and joining an expedition to Antarctica.
