A formidable advocate for our complex commercial dispute

Our company engaged Rachel Stinson at Wright Close Barger after a significant partnership agreement fell apart, leading to a complex commercial dispute. From our initial consultation, her deep experience was evident. She explained the nuances of litigating in Texas state courts with a clarity that was invaluable. Her background, including her appellate practice recognition, gave us confidence that our case strategy was built for both the trial and any potential appeals. Rachel’s litigation acumen was on full display during depositions and motion practice; she is a sharp and strategic thinker. The outcome she secured for us was exceptionally favorable, protecting our core business interests. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in email response times during non-critical phases, though her team was always responsive for urgent matters. Her 23 years of practice, particularly in Houston's legal landscape, make her a trusted advisor. We would not hesitate to recommend her for sophisticated commercial litigation.
