Newsworthy Updates and Accomplishments

  • Associate Zach Harvey Makes it Official! First Party Division Associate Zach Harvey officially became a member of the Texas State Bar when he was sworn in last week. Office Manager (and notary) Priscilla Colburn swore Zach in with family and colleagues in the audience. Congrats Zach and welcome to the Bar!
  • Associate Britney Jackson continues to hustle! Crime Survivors Division Associate Britney Jackson recently spoke at the Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance Summit in Houston. Britney explained why civil prosecution of hotels, party planners, and others who enable traffickers is a unique tool in fighting human trafficking. Britney's speech garnered significant attention as her entire set of marketing materials were distributed and multiple referrals were promised. Also as a result of her recent speech, Britney was asked to speak at the Asian American Bar Association Trafficking Panel later this year. Keep up the good work Britney!

What you didn’t know about me: I enjoy the outdoors as much as the city. I kayak fish, hunt, and hike. I'm the only one in my family born in the States after my folks immigrated from Israel in 1978. I was brainwashed to be a trial lawyer when I clerked at a mass torts firm during college doing Vioxx Plaintiff Fact Sheets. My door is always open, even when it's shut!

Data Input Challenge
In the Firm's first of many challenges, the Arkansas Division prevailed for highest percentage of data entry in their cases. Partner Erin Vorhees, Associate Krystal Gage, Paralegal Heather Risinger, and Paralegal Mickayla Reasoner worked hard to get 97% of the necessary data inputted. In fact, Arkansas went ahead and finished up their project to get to 100%. Way to go Arkansas!
