A non-native Texan, I grew up in Illinois near St. Louis but moved to Austin for law school and have stayed ever since. My practice primarily focuses on representing health care professionals before various state and federal agencies. I have extensive experience representing physicians, pharmacies, pharmacists, dentists, and nurses before their different licensing agencies. I also routinely represent physicians in credentialing and peer review matters before hospitals and insurance networks. Not afraid to go to court, I have litigated my client's cases through initial complaints, informal conferences, administrative hearings, and all the way to the court of appeals with successful results. At the time of writing (2014), a large part of my practice focuses on physicians, mid-level practitioners, and pharmacies accussed of non-therapeutically prescribing or dispensing pain medication.

29 years of practice is a long time.  Many things change but one does not; respect, the right to fight, and the right to an attorney who will fight for you.  I have seen my share of the innocent accused, pre-judged by those who seem to believe that the police (or they) never make mistakes.  My job is to expose them.  Everyone deserves a helping hand now and then.

100% of my practice is devoted to representing my clients in litigation at the trial and appellate levels.  I have successfully defended clients in state and federal courts at all stages of civil litigation in cases involving allegations of personal injury and wrongful death, assault, false imprisonment, property damage, premises liability, product liability, construction defects, and employment disputes.

*Please note that I represent tenants only, not landlords.. My goal is make sure all individuals with legal problems have access to the legal help they need. I offer individuals straight-forward, flat-rate billing options at prices they can afford. No more surprise bills at the end of your representation. If you have a serious legal problem and are worried about having the funds to get help, let me work with you. We can arrange something to make us both happy.. I am not your typical attorney. My journey to the legal field was a strange one. After studying biochemistry and gene therapy, I decided the lab environment wasn't for me. I looked into becoming a patent agent so I could help new inventors protect their ideas and start businesses.. I joined an existing Intellectual Property law firm and enjoyed the work. I decided to pursue a legal degree and become an attorney. After 3 1/2 years of night school, I received my license. While attending school, my interests expanded beyond patent law but always remained focused on the individual.. However, the firm's clients were primarily larger oil and gas clients rather than the individuals on which I wanted to focus. I left the firm to start my own practice. Let me know how I can help you.
