Once again, a substantial number of attorneys from Hartline Barger LLP have earned recognition from their peers by being selected for inclusion in the 2018 Texas Rising Stars® list. Awarded to fewer than 2.5% of lawyers statewide, the Rising Stars designation recognizes attorneys who are under the age of 40, or who have been in practice for no more than 10 years. These annual selections are based on a rigorous, multiphase process, including peer nominations and review, and independent research. Nine of the firm’s attorneys received this recognition, including partners Thomas Jacks and Stephanie Roark, who have each been selected for five or more consecutive years.

Hartline Barger LLP Attorneys Persuade Texas Court of Appeals to Send Civil Damage Claims to Arbitration

Posted on March 1, 2018 by - Verdicts

Hartline Barger attorneys Brian Rawson, Stephanie Roark, and Roy McKay successfully petitioned on appeal for civil damage claims against the firm’s client, a publicly-traded hospitality company, to be moved to arbitration. Arguing to Texas’ Fifth Court of Appeals, Hartline Barger attorneys moved to compel arbitration citing a provision in a lease agreement the plaintiff signed stating that any dispute arising from “working at the [establishment]” would be decided by binding arbitration. Although a trial court originally denied the motion to compel arbitration, a three-judge panel on the Texas Court of Appeals court reversed the lower court’s decision.
