Fleming Appointed to Sports Authority Board Former County Attorney and Houston Litigator Tapped to Represent Public

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) September 13, 2007 -- Harris County Commissioners Court voted unanimously Tuesday to appoint former County Attorney and Houston litigator Michael P. Fleming to the board of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority.

The appointment, which is effective immediately, marks Fleming's latest turn as a public servant. In addition to continuing work for civic and church organizations, Fleming most recently served as appointed director and co-chair of the Harris County Housing Authority. Before that he was the elected Harris County Attorney after he won election in 1996. He was re-elected to a second term in 2000.

"The Sports Authority has had a hand in building more than $1 billion in sports venues in Harris County and is now tasked mainly with repaying the debt generated by those projects," Fleming said after receiving the Commissioners Court appointment. "I will be honored to serve as a public watchdog on that board and am again pleased to get the opportunity to do something for my community."

Fleming has been practicing law in Houston for twenty years. After leaving the County Attorney's Office and before forming the Michael P. Fleming law firm in 2002, he was partner in the litigation section of Bracewell & Patterson, L.L.P., which is now Bracewell & Giuliani.

The Michael P Fleming law firm, which handles general civil litigation and real estate matters, has offices in Houston and The Woodlands. Fleming lives in Houston with his wife, Natalie, and six children. The firm's internet home is www.flemingattorneys.com.

Fleming has represented clients in the state and federal trial and appellate courts. He has argued and won cases before The U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. He is Board Certified as a specialist in Personal Injury Trial Law and Residential Real Estate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is rated AV by Martindale-Hubbell.
