I grew up on a ranch in La Grange, Texas.  Population: 4,675.. After graduating from the University of Texas, I traveled to Lubbock where I obtained my Juris Doctorate from Texas Tech University in 2015.. I have been at The Gottfried Firm since August 2015 and am the first attorney in my family.. In my free time, I enjoy attending concerts and sporting events and spending time with my friends and family.

I grew up in Austin so know the people, politics and courts.  I went to Austin High School, then on to Austin College in Sherman Texas receiving a B.A. in Business and Political Science in 1982. The following year I entered the field of residential real estate, becoming a real estate salesman for J B Goodwin Realtors then another company before deciding to become an attorney.  Entering South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas, in January 1985, I attended school full time while also clerking until graduating and becoming licensed in 1989.  During law school, I also became a licensed real estate broker in 1987, which license I have maintained since.  With a desire to help people without a lawfirm mark up, I opened my first private practice in 1990 providing both legal and real estate services.  Initially this consisted mostly of real estate and collection matters.  From 2007 to August 2013 I worked for the Texas Real Estate Commission assisting the State of Texas with enforcement of the Real Estate License Act through administrative proceedings and utilizing my background in the industry.  After departing, I re-established a private practice with the flexibility and affordability you need.  I maintain a home office and prefer to go to the client instead o you having to come to me - you have what you need there and I can lower my rate without office overhead.  Let me know how I can help with your legal and real estate needs.

I focus my practice in the areas of business, real estate, construction law, and estate planning, and represent a wide variety of clients, including but not limited to lending institutions, real estate developers, real estate investors, business owners, nonprofit organizations, homeowners associations, general contractors, and individuals.
