Mr. Madole is a partner at Carrington Coleman. He has tried 80 cases to jury verdict as lead counsel and selected another 30 juries for other trial lawyers. His jury trials as lead counsel range from civil cases (contract, construction, employment, insurance, real estate, landlord-tenant, fraud, and deceptive trade practices) to prosecuting misdemeanors and violent felonies such as aggravated kidnapping, sexual assault, aggravated robbery, and capital murder. His oil and gas related work has included non-operators vs. operator, joint interest auditing, operator vs. drilling contractor, and investor vs. operator/promoter disputes. As Division Chief of the Specialized (white collar) Crime Division of the Dallas County Criminal District Attorney's Office, Mr. Madole successfully prosecuted an elected official for misuse of office and obtained what is believed to be the longest jury sentence (30 years) in an environmental case by convicting the owner of an illegal landfill of engaging in organized crime, a result of which he was recognized by the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. In cases resolved by summary judgment, other pre-trial motions, bench trial, settlement, or otherwise, Mr. Madole has participated in a wide array of civil litigation, including legal malpractice, corporate governance, accountant malpractice, mortgage insurance, non-competition disputes, trademark infringement, trade secrets, restrictive covenants, civil rights, healthcare, employment, securities, intra-corporate disputes, landlord-tenant issues, and U.C.C. matters. Mr. Madole has been recognized by Texas Monthly magazine in 2005 and 2006 as a "Super Lawyer" in business litigation, an honor bestowed on only 5% of Texas attorneys. |
