About Me?  Let me tell you a quick story . . .. I was working as a lawyer, representing whoever needed me for whatever they needed me for.  And I found that, well, people don't like lawyers very much.. In fact, when I told my uncle I was going to law school, he stopped and stared at me, then said "People don't like those folks much. Why would you want to do that?". I didn't have an answer.  You'd think I would have taken the hint.. Well, after a few miserable years as a lawyer, I decided enough is enough. If I am going to practice law, I am going to do it the right way -- the way people will like, and in a way people will like me, and enjoy having me help them.. First, no more stop watches.  I decided no more hourly bills.  People need their problems solved, they aren't buying hours, they buy solutions and peace of mind.  Unless we are in litigation, I give you a fixed price for the solution to your needs!. Next, I wanted to fundamentally help families and kids.  This meant focusing on their finances and their family legal safety.  Basic stuff like: How am I going to care for those cute babies after a car wreck takes mom and dad away?  These are things a lawyer should worry about for a family.. If the family is in transition, this means working through a process using Wevorce to create a new world where the power is found in love, and not the love of power over the family members. A world in which the family decides to retain the power and not give it to divorce attorneys, judges and their courts.. Also, if the family has a business, I want to be there to help make it successful and well-protected. I want to use my creativity to ensure the entrepreneurs in the clan can do that, and not worry about legal issues all day!.

I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a double major, one in Accounting and one in Marketing. From there, I got an MBA at University of Dallas, and finished with a JD at Texas A&M University School of Law, which used to be call Texas Wesleyan.. My two kids keep me very busy with soccer tournaments, cello and violin concerts, topped off by a long list of other teenage activities.. I love to assist the Legal Aid organization serving North Texas as much as possible. This provides a tremendous opportunity to help those who cannot afford a lawyer. It's very satisfying work and beneficial to the community.
