Attorney Spotlight

“Working alongside attorneys that practice in diverse areas of the law really brings to life the notion that diversity is strength. As a real estate attorney working at Roberts Markel Weinberg Butler Hailey PC, it serves as a great advantage to be able to consult with my colleagues when my clients have issues involving probate, employment, litigation or other practice areas. Working with clients ranging from developers of master-planned communities to individuals purchasing a single tract of land has expanded my outlook and diversified my skill set.”

– Rahila N. Sultanali, Shareholder

“As lawyers we steward our clients through the storm to advance their pursuit of happiness. By our clients’ side, we guide them through the path where every step requires passion, prudence, and perseverance. At Roberts Markel Weinberg Butler Hailey PC, we understand that our strength is borne from our diversity and it enhances our ability to do excellent work and do it well.”

– Rick V. Anderson, Shareholder

“As a part of our community association law practice, I believe diversity is key in understanding and dealing with community associations and the people who support them. Practicing alongside attorneys with diverse backgrounds provides insight into the continually changing landscape of community association living. As the largest law firm in Texas representing community associations, being committed to diversity is essential for the effective advocacy of our clients. Being an emigrant from India who settled in Houston in 1979, I feel confident that my cultural and socioeconomic background offers a unique perspective which assists in representing our clients in many valuable ways.”

– Sipra S. Boyd, Shareholder
