Top best H Lawyers in Austin | 679 available

I am a pro-business attorney.  I work for my client to meet their needs, not my own.  Therefore, I
strive to inform my clients of the legal issues and options available
to them in each stage of the deal.  But, I realize that it is really their business (or opportunity)
not mine. They make the final informed decisions rather than me.  In that way, my client is most comfortable with the results.. I strive to ethically represent my client's best interests in all ways and at all times.  Therefore, while giving them the best legal representation that I can provide, I also try to identify: 1) non-legal issues that they may also need to consider; and 2) specialized professionals who they may also need to consult in order to be fully informed about the impact of their plans. I understand that there are often other professionals who are better equipped to meet my client's complete needs and encourage their participation.

I am a certified public accountant and Board certified in Estate Planning and Probate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.   I love the opportunity to meet new people and work with families in planning for their future and the legacy they leave behind.   On the probate side, I strive to make the process as simple as possible at an extremely difficult time for many of my clients.

I am a board certified family law attorney located in downtown Austin. My goal is to provide you with the highest quality legal services.

Together we will determine whether litigation, dispute resolution, or a combination of both is your best path and in your children's best interest.

I am 100% committed to getting you the best outcome I possibly can when you retain me.  I am dedicated to making sure that you are able to reach me whenever possible.  My staff and I do everything we can to ensure that we make this unfortunate time in your life as easy on you as we possibly can.  I am a former prosecutor, and I have personally taken close to 100 cases to verdict before a jury in both California and Texas.  Most of these cases have been DWI/DUI cases.  I have personally trained law enforcement officers on how to investigate DWI/DUI cases, write reports related to DWI/DUI cases, and testify in court related to DWI/DUI cases.  I am highly experienced and willing to do whatever it takes to get you best results within the confines of legal ethics.
