It is with deep sadness that we must announce the passing of Jeffrey G. Hamilton, who was a partner in our Dallas office.

Words fail you at a time like this. Calhoun, Bhella & Sechrest is more than just a collection of legal professionals—we are a family, and losing a member of your family is never easy. Jeff’s loss leaves us with a void that no one can ever fill. We consider ourselves lucky to have had the pleasure of not only working with Jeff, but counting him as a personal friend. Our hearts go out to his family and friends; to say he will be missed greatly is an understatement. May he rest in peace, and may his loved ones find solace in remembering the great man he was.

Jeff was a graduate of the University of Virginia and Emory Law School. He practiced with a large law firm for over 20 years before he joined Calhoun, Bhella & Sechrest in 2018. Though Jeff enjoyed a distinctive professional career, he was most proud of his two beloved children, knowing they would one day grow up to accomplish incredible things.

We are happy to announce that Jeremy Tufnell has joined our Dallas office as an associate attorney.

Jeremy is a graduate of Southwestern University and Texas Tech University School of Law. Before joining our team, Jeremy served as a judicial intern for Hon. Tiffany Haertling and practiced with a Texas-based litigation boutique. Jeremy's practice focuses on contentious, high-exposure business and construction disputes.

"Jeremy is bright, eager, and creative," says Robert Bogdanowicz, a partner in the Dallas office. "His impressive résumé aside, Jeremy already has brought an insightful energy to the Firm which will serve our clients well. We couldn't be happier to have him on board."

Jeremy can be reached at [email protected]. Join us in giving him a warm welcome!

A round of applause is in order!

Robert J. Bogdanowicz, a partner in our Dallas office, was selected as one of the "Best Lawyers in Dallas" by D Magazine for 2020. This exclusive list honors the top lawyers in Dallas; local lawyers nominate only two other lawyers outside their own firm (and one within). From there, an anonymous panel of eminent lawyers review the nominees and make the ultimate selections with D Magazine editors.

Rob previously was selected by D Magazine as one of the "Best Lawyers in Dallas Under 40". He also has been named a Texas Rising Star each of the past eight years by Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters service (2012-2019). Selection to this list is a distinction limited to 2.5% of all lawyers in Texas. In 2017, 2018, and 2019, Rob was distinguished further as one of the “Up-and-Coming Top 100 Rising Stars”, a select list of only 100 attorneys in the state.

Congratulations, Rob!
