Jordan is an Austin, Texas–based mediator who spent nearly 20 years in the courtroom before dedicating his practice to resolving disputes outside of it. A former partner at a well-known Austin law firm, Jordan litigated high-stakes commercial, oil and gas, real property, and probate cases in state and federal courts across Texas. He has tried cases to verdict at virtually every level—from JP courts to district courts—and has argued before intermediate appellate courts and the Texas Supreme Court.

Jordan now draws on his extensive trial experience to help parties cut through litigation risk, evaluate their cases clearly, and reach practical, durable resolutions to complex disputes.

Jordan’s Approach

Drawing on nearly two decades as a trial lawyer handling cases through verdict and appeal, Jordan brings more than a theoretical understanding of litigation risk. He has been in the trenches — preparing witnesses, arguing difficult issues, trying cases, facing juries, pursuing appeals, and advising clients when the choice was whether to settle or roll the dice. That firsthand experience allows him to evaluate risk and speak with an authority grounded in having lived with the same pressures, uncertainties, and consequences the parties face.

Jordan’s mediation style is engaged, candid, and pragmatic. He comes prepared, studies the briefs, and focuses on both the legal issues and the business or personal interests driving the dispute.

Parties can expect direct, no-nonsense feedback, a clear-eyed assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, and real-world risks of their positions, and a steady push toward a practical, durable resolution.
