Mr. Daw primarily defends major corporations, oil field service companies, commercial premise owners, apartment complex owners and their management companies, commercial trucking companies, bars and restaurants, and various professionals, as well as insurance companies directly. Mr. Daw has defended and tried cases across Texas including single and multiple deaths and serious personal injury cases arising from apartment fires, drownings, all aspects of premises liability from slip and falls to violent crime, commercial trucking accidents, tire related issues, and oilfield and refinery accidents. Mr. Daw also has ventured outside the “normal defense case” as is evident by his serving as counsel representing a psychotherapist accused of implanting false memories of childhood satanic ritualistic abuse into the minds of her patients. A two-week trial produced a defense verdict. The Houston Chronicle reported this was the first defense verdict in a false memory case recorded nationwide and in 1999, the National Law Journal named that result as one of the top 15 defense verdicts of 1998.
