Biography

“Throughout my legal career I have only represented real people and that was by choice. Malcolm Gladwell once wrote ‘the act of facing overwhelming odds produces greatness and beauty.’ Being at the side of my clients as they face these types of odds has given me a front row seat from which I can watch greatness and beauty being produced in them. What a privilege!”

JT started his career as a criminal defense attorney, representing people from all different levels of society, from homeless juveniles to police officers.

In 2010, by chance, JT’s practice shifted gears. Always dedicated to helping those in need, JT agreed to assist a friend on a case involving the death of a nursing home resident. JT quickly mastered the legal and medical implications of a nursing home negligence claim and has since become a leader in the field.

JT has given seminar presentations to medical malpractice attorneys from Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.

JT has also been recognized by his peers as being one of the leading medical malpractice attorneys in Austin in a poll taken by Austin Monthly magazine in 2020 and 2021.

Each legislative session in Texas, JT serves on TTLA’s Medical Malpractice Bill Review Committee, and, on several occasions, TTLA has asked him to lobby Texas state Representatives and Senators on medical negligence issues.

JT was born in Greenville, South Carolina. His father was in the ministry, which led to his family moving often. JT has lived in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, and Texas.

Although most of his time is devoted to being an attorney, JT is a devoted family man. He and his wife have been married since 1987 and they have been blessed with two wonderful children and two grandsons, so far.
