I consider myself to be a settlement specialist.  I am one of very few family law specialists who will mediate for clients who don't have individual attorneys.  I also promote Collaborative Law (a process that allows divorcing couples to reach agreements that fit their family without going to court) in my practice, and I have been a leader in the Collaborative Law movement in Texas and the nation.  My interest in finding a better way to help people get through the divorce process comes from 20 years of litigation practice. During this time it became clear to me that the adversarial competition that is set up by the court system has few, if any, benefits for the clients, and fewer for their children. I felt frustrated by the fact that, while I could get people through the court system, there were no tools that allowed me to meet their overall needs. I believe there are processes that fill this void, so I have limited my practice to mediation, Collaborative Law, and drafting Marital Property Agreements.

I am an Intellectual Property attorney practicing in Austin Texas.  The most important thing that potential clients should know about me, is that I really enjoy what I do.  I enjoy helping clients use their intellectual property to improve their business and achieve their goals.  I'm happy to be working as a solo because I can put my clients interests and needs first.  My years of experience let me be extremely efficient and because I have low overhead I can charge significantly less than an attorney of similar experience at a large firm.. My clerkships were the two most important jobs I have ever had.  Both Judge Gajarsa and Judge Andewalt were patent attorneys before patent law became "cool."  They both understood how important technology and innovation is to our economy.  The reason why I love the law comes from the early training I received from my judges.. I am looking for clients who have as much enthusiasm for their own businesses as I have for my practice!

I am an attorney that believes in fighting hard for every client, regardless of their race, creed, or financial background. I believe each client has a story to tell, and with my help, compassion, and advice, we can prepare that dialogue to be presented to the judge or jury in the most positive and effective way. I have a diverse array of experience in both domestic and international law, and I passionate about helping others and serving the community, including indigent clients. I will always work to defend the civil rights of my client and obtain the best possible outcome for them in each case.

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.
