Top best E Lawyers in ZIP 78727 | 38 available

I was the first Texas attorney to become board certified in both civil appellate law and criminal appellate law.  I was one of only 16 attorneys who passed the Criminal Appellate Law certification exam when it was administered by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization for the first time in October 2011.  I then passed the Civil Appellate Law certification exam in 2012.. I have worked on numerous civil and criminal appeals and post-conviction writs in Texas, and I have argued cases at the state courts of appeals in Austin, San Antonio, Amarillo, Houston [1st Dist.], El Paso and Corpus Christi (sitting in Austin), as well as at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans and before two federal district judges in Corpus Christi, one federal district judge in Brownsville, and one federal magistrate judge in Brownsville.. Whether I am court-appointed or hired to represent a client, I use my best efforts to explain the client's appellate options and obtain a favorable result.
