Visa USA

"Mike Lynn, Jeff Tillotson and J. R. Rodriguez thoroughly analyzed the facts, claims and defenses in one of the most dangerous cases I've faced on behalf of Visa USA in my twenty-one years as Director of Litigation. They then formulated and executed a winning strategy through trial, representing Visa with zeal and vigor every step of the way. To say the firm has earned my total confidence would be an understatement."

Stephen C. Theoharis, Senior Vice President and Director of Litigation

USAA

"It is because of Mike Lynn's initial creative thinking almost eight years ago, as well as the firm's continuing creativity and dogged hard work, that we find ourselves as triumphant victors in what has clearly been the most hard-fought piece of litigation in the course of my career."

Steven Bennett, Senior Vice President and General Counsel

Alcatel USA, Inc.

"As Alcatel's General Counsel, I have engaged many trial lawyers. Mike Lynn and Eric Pinker of Lynn Tillotson Pinker & Cox are among the best at what they do that I have ever seen. They relate complex issues in antitrust and trade secret cases to juries in a manner that makes them clearly understood."

George Brunt, Former Senior Vice President and General Counsel

American General Finance

"Mike Lynn and Eric Pinker assumed the leadership for us in a tough case in the deep South just 65 days before trial ... Mike is creative, intuitive, and hard-as-nails. Eric is bright, focused and possesses a wonderful intellect. While under intense pressure, they performed as a seamless team without losing their focus or their nerve."

Mary Deig, Associate General Counsel

Navigant Consulting, Inc.

"Mike Lynn is one of the finest trial lawyers I have ever met. He repeatedly anticipated the other side's arguments and turned them to our advantage, he is a brilliant cross-examiner, he has a flair for courtroom drama, and no one will ever out-work him and his superb team. Beyond this, he is an wise, decent and honest man. Mike somehow finds a way to get the very best from others -- the court, the jury, his own team, his witnesses, and even his clients. There is no one I would rather have on my side."

Philip P. Steptoe, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

Pickens Energy Corporation

"For nearly four years Eric Pinker and Mike Lynn were a part of our family. We were blessed to have such a strong team working with us. Eric's mind is brilliant, and his memory is photographic. Mike's experience and court room presence is unparalleled. We were most pleased however with their never wavering commitment to integrity, and their ability to keep us on the moral high ground. There is not a stronger and smarter firm in the country, nor a firm that I would feel more secure to represent my name and reputation."

Mike Pickens, Senior VP

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."

Michael Cahill, Group Managing Director and General Counsel

Media Broker's Inc.

"Over the last forty years, I have made a living off an eye for talent and lots of hard work. Trey Cox is one of my great discoveries - a lawyer whose talent is rivaled only by his work ethic. I have been through trial and even an appeal with Trey. Never once did he so much as pause in his relentless pursuit of our goals ... Trey Cox knows how to fight and how to win. He is a permanent member of my team."

Charles Dunbar, Founder and President

Fiserv, Inc.

"I had the pleasure of watching Mike Lynn work on my company's behalf in a federal court case involving significant exposure for my company. Mike's an incredibly skilled cross-examiner ... Lawyers do make a difference and Mike Lynn's work illustrated beautifully the lawyering 'art'."

Charles Sprague, General Counsel

M. Myers Development

"Eric Pinker represented us with the highest degree of preparation and professional excellence from the selection of the jury through testimony, cross-examination, simplification of every complicated subject matter, summation, and the final questions that went to the jury."

Marvin Myers, President

Associates Financial Services Company Inc.

"[To Jeff Tillotson] I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work on the Stewart case. I don't believe it would have been possible to have prepared or tried the case any better. . . Certainly your performance as lead counsel was the best I have ever seen."

Charles E. Russell, Senior Vice President and Assistant General Counsel

Stone Products, Inc.

"Trey Cox provided us with exceptional talent and knowledge in the courtroom . . . His skills in Court were superior and translated into an outstanding victory for us at the end of the trial. Mr. Cox showed an instantaneous ability to adapt to every changing situation during our trial and we would eagerly pursue his expertise, whenever the opportunity arises. We could not be more pleased."

Greg Kuiper, President and CEO

"I cannot imagine a better performance than the one I witnessed over the past few days at the class certification hearing in Navaro-Rice v. First USA Bank. There is no doubt that it was Jeff Tillotson's superior lawyering that made the difference."

Clinton W. Walker, Executive Vice President and General Counsel

"Trey Cox is a proactive problem-solver, who goes the extra mile to insure his clients get results and superior legal services."

Chuck Cotter, President & CEO

Resulte Universal

"Trey Cox has done an extremely effective job of representing our interests. They give 110% and we have the results to prove it."

Rex Kurzius, President

Visa International

"I have had the privilege of working with Mike Lynn since the late 1980s. When it came to my attention that Visa International and Visa USA had a potential billion-dollars problem in Dallas, I immediately turned to Mike and his talented colleagues at Lynn Tillotson Pinker & Cox. I participated with Mike at trial, and was once again impressed by his rapport and credibility with the jury. His surgical trial skills were complemented by the smooth delivery and analytical skills of his partner, Jeff Tillotson, and by the calm calculation of an up-and-coming star, J.R. Rodriguez. The issues were tough - a loss would have had immense ramifications for any company that conducts business over the Internet. In addition, Visa faced huge potential liability and the plaintiff was represented by formidable counsel. 100% commitment, coupled with consistently excellent results make Lynn Tillotson Pinker & Cox the obvious first line of defense for any corporate litigant."

Steve Zelinger, Vice President and Director of Litigation and Senior Counsel

SB International Inc.

"Mike Lynn and his superb team took over a case in deep trouble deep in South Texas from another trial counsel. There was little if any time to come up to speed on this terribly complicated matter. Mike Lynn, Jeremy Fielding and Richard Smith were amazingly skilled, fought hard and fearlessly in the face of tremendous odds, were creative problem solvers, and demonstrated an extremely high degree of professional excellence in an effort to earn our confidence and turn the case around. We worked closely as a team and were always well informed. Above all, the friendship and respect developed in the course of our association, is what makes the difference as they provided both the legal talent and the wisdom necessary to resolve this matter. This team will strive relentlessly for the success of their clients and we can highly recommend them."

Satish Gupta, President & CEO

PHNS, Inc.

"Thanks to the outstanding efforts of Eric Pinker, Britta Stanton and the rest of the Lynn Tillotson & Pinker team, we emerged victorious after four long years of constant discovery/motions/battles and a brutal three week jury trial. Eric, Britta and their team provided incredible skill, dedication, preparation, street smarts, relentless hard work and a brilliant jury closing by Eric to help us win this important lawsuit. A previous legal battle got the same outstanding efforts from Mike Lynn, Eric, Britta and team, and another win. We only enter into legal battles with Lynn Tillotson Pinker & Cox on our side!"

Rick Kneipper, Chief Administrative Officer & Co-Founder

VPD IV, Inc.

Cody Towns and Jeff Tolley did a remarkable job trying our case in front of a Dallas jury. The victory in the courthouse was well deserved.
