INTRODUCTION
J.R. Potts tested out of high school and began college at the age of 12. He earned his undergraduate degree in biology/pre-medicine and psychology at 17. He earned his law degree from The University of Tulsa in 2000. He is admitted to practice in both Texas and Oklahoma and is a member of the Tarrant County Bar Association.
Mr. Potts is active with the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program and the Dallas Legal Hospice. He has recently published an article in the Defense Research Institute Life and Health Newsletter on the appropriateness of rescission of a health insurance policy due to misrepresentations in the policy application. This article arose from a case where a Texas court of appeals sided with Mr. Potts’ reasoning in holding as appropriate the severance of an insurance company’s rescission counterclaim from the plaintiff’s breach of contract and bad faith claims. In his free time, Mr. Potts enjoys working in his yard, cycling, and spending time with his family.
Mr. Potts practices primarily in the areas of general civil litigation, insurance defense, appellate practice, construction law, probate and estate planning and oil and gas transactions and litigation. He has also practice in the areas of employment discrimination law, non-compete contracts and complex products liability defense.
