His practice has been built on an ever expanding referral base. He receives referrals from other lawyers, judges, politicians, and most importantly past and current clients. "My mission is to put my clients in the best possible position to achieve their goals by out-preparing and out-working my opponent. I am first and foremost a trial attorney. Much of my skill and craft were honed as a criminal prosecutor in the Denton County District Attorney’s office. I have spent countless hours in the courtroom advocating for my clients. While I am always courteous and professional in the courtroom, my clients will not be bullied. I enjoy courtroom advocacy the most, but I emphasize a strategy that lessens resentment and hostility and focuses on creative problem-solving, goal setting for the future, and preserving dignity." -- Brian K. Tackett
