My docket included religious freedom and religious discrimination cases for Muslim, Jewish, and Native American clients; birthright citizenship challenges; and inmate rights litigation for meal and prayer accommodations. My employment law background includes senior roles at Littler Mendelson, Jackson Walker, Akin Gump, and Jackson Lewis, as well as serving as the Texas state expert for Thomson Reuters Practical Law. I have counseled corporations on wage/hour compliance, non-compete agreements, FMLA, discrimination, retaliation, and workplace investigations. I have first-chaired federal court jury trials and handled appeals across the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and D.C. Circuits. I also hold a Mediation Certification from the University of Houston and have served as an Associate Hearing Officer for the City of Dallas. I am a multiple-year Texas Super Lawyer (through 2026), Fellow of the Texas Bar College, and Fellow of the American Bar Association.

Compromise And Settlement Agreement Templates
As a lawyer with a background in contract drafting and litigation, I created this template settlement agreement to help you formalize a resolution to a legal dispute. I also have legal services packages set up if you need additional help with the template (i.e., reviewing it after you filled it out, needing help filling it out, etc.).
Overview of the Template Settlement Agreement
For context, a settlement agreement is typically between two parties whereby one party (the plaintiff) gives up the right to hold the other party (the defendant) legally responsible for current or future injuries, losses, and damages. Settlement agreements are quite common in civil legal matters such as automobile accidents, landlord-tenant disputes, breach of contract claims, etc.
The party waiving their rights do so in exchange for monetary and/or non-monetary compensation.
A settlement agreement may also be referred to as the following:
- Liability release form
- Liability waiver form
- Release of liability waiver
- Release agreement
- Waiver and release of liability
What is Included in the Template Settlement Agreement?
My template settlement agreement contains key provisions to help formalize the terms and expectations associated with the parameters of the settlement. The settlement agreement template expressly states the desires of both parties to settle controversies that might have been raised in a civil action and that the settlement agreement is an effort to avoid such further costs and inconvenience. Importantly, my settlement agreement template states the amount of consideration (i.e., the settlement amount) that will be provided to one party in exchange for them waiving their rights to future injuries, losses, and damages.
My settlement agreement template contains important language highlighting the voluntary nature of the settlement agreement and formally acknowledges that the parties understand the terms and are in agreement with them.
In addition to these sections, my template settlement agreement contains provisions addressing protections afforded to confidential information that may have been shared between the parties during settlement negotiations. There are also provisions discussing tax consequences associated with the settlement, along with representations and warranties between the parties, which helps establish the scope of the settlement agreement.
All of the provisions in my template settlement agreement are modifiable so it can be used to accommodate your unique circumstances. I’ve also included recommended language that can be used to fill in specific sections, such as the terms of settlement compensation.
Who Should Use the Template Settlement Agreement?
My template settlement agreement was drafted to be used by individuals, or companies, seeking to resolve a legal dispute through a mutually agreed upon settlement.
Benefits of Using the Template Settlement Agreement
My settlement agreement template is appropriate to be used in situations whereby parties embroiled in a legal dispute want to resolve the dispute through an amicable resolution and need to memorialize the terms and conditions of a settlement.
If a legal dispute arises from the terms and conditions of the template settlement agreement, you may need to escalate the matter to litigation. If that situation arises, having an experienced attorney by your side can pay dividends. My legal services are available. If hired, I will be there for you every step of the way, offering clear communication, accurate legal guidance, and proactive solutions.
