The TCW Group

"When we were looking for litigation counsel in Texas a few years ago, I asked a General Counsel friend of mine for a recommendation. I told him I was looking for lawyers who could strategize, think (both on and off their feet), write, negotiate and stand up in a courtroom with confidence and persuasion - a firm that is dogged in the representation of its clients. He directed me to Mike Lynn and his firm and that’s where we went. After having had the experience of working close at hand with Mike in a sizable case that went from the court of first instance to the Texas Supreme Court, I can say that the recommendation I got was as good as described. I know who I will recommend when I get asked for a reference for litigation counsel in Texas."
