Swift recently won summary judgment on a wrongful death case in a volatile Texas jurisdiction, in a claim that featured estimated exposure up to $30 million. Doug’s fast, thorough and insightful work in arguing independent contractor status of the decedent secured the court’s reversal of a prior ruling on the issue – a ruling that was bad law not just for Swift but for the industry – and that decision in turn paved the way for the win on summary judgment. I needed the best possible help on a pivotal issue, and Doug did exactly what I knew he would and could: treated the problem like it was his own, dug in deep and gave our defense team the ammunition it needed for a huge win. I hope I don’t need him again, but if and when I do he’ll be my first call.
