Following law school, Roger worked at two firms, obtaining excellent experience and success in a wide range of civil litigation and arbitration.  He participated in representing clients in complex high-value cases between Fortune 500 companies, primarily through repeated representation of one of the largest oilfield services companies in the world. He also participated in many smaller matters involving small and mid-size companies and individuals.

Through all this, Roger and his mentor experienced great success against talented opposition from some of the best lawyers and most prestigious law firms in Texas and the nation.Roger participated in litigating cases in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida state trial courts, federal trial courts in Texas and Louisiana, state appellate courts in Texas, and the federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
