LEGAL COUNSEL ALIGNED WITH YOUR INTERESTS
As the complexity of regulatory, contractual and operational issues for businesses today increases, so too does the cost of retaining in-house general counsel. Businesses shouldn’t have to choose between receiving sound legal support at unplanned fees or settling for less experience, effort or communication. Johnny provides fractional general counsel in Austin and regionally throughout Texas to not only help businesses receive superior legal counsel when they need it, without substantial fees, but also to build relationships with clients to serve their best interests and promote their success.

CLIENT
TESTIMONIALS


“Johnny has essentially served Affiliated Foods as its outside general counsel in excess of 20 years. As I understand, he has only missed one board of directors meeting in that time. Johnny is not only an exceptional attorney who has gained the confidence of our board and management team, he also has great insight and understanding of how to balance our legal needs with our business needs.”
Randy Arceneaux
President and CEO

“Ag Producers Co-op has worked with Johnny for almost a decade. He ensures that we receive the proper representation for every matter, not only working directly on projects, but acting as a quarterback and connecting us with the right counsel when it is out of his wheelhouse. Johnny provides us with prompt attention and keeps us informed about matters throughout the process.”
Bret Brown
CFO

“Johnny is a business leader's attorney. I began using Johnny for transactional needs in 2016 and immediately recognized his gift for advising decision-makers on how to balance contractual protections with the realities of getting deals done. I have come to rely on Johnny's opinions on diverse topics from contracts to negotiations, to finance and even how to be a better human. I recommend Johnny to any business owner for his legal prowess and you will get the added benefit of mentor-level advice from a very experienced corporate counsel.”
