I have been a practicing attorney in Texas since 2001.  I attended South Texas College of Law, a private law school in Houston, Texas.  My father was an attorney and judge while I was growing up so that certainly helped inspire me to get a law degree.  My father helped a lot of people in need who didn't have the finances to pay him every time; however, he always found a way to help them in some way.. I have practiced Social Security Disability law for 14 years now and it has been a very fulfilling and rewarding career helping those who are unable to work and provide for themselves and their families.  The first office visit is free to evaluate whether the Packard LaPray law firm can assist you with your claim today!

I grew up in Southeast Texas. After high school, I attended Lamar University where I obtained a Bachelor's of Business Administration in Finance, with honors. I then moved to Houston to attend South Texas College of Law. While in law school, I clerked for two federal judges, Judge Frances H. Stacy and Judge Marcia A. Crone.  I was also an Articles Editor for the South Texas Law Review, an advocate for South Texas’ nationally ranked moot court team, and served as a Langdell Scholar for Torts I and Constitutional Law.. After law school, I moved back to Southeast Texas and worked as a defense lawyer for Orgain, Bell, & Tucker LLP in Beaumont.  Although it was great experience, I quickly realized that representing insurance companies and insurance adjusters did not provide me with the personal fulfillment I desired.  As a result, I joined Bernsen Law FIrm to pursue his true passion of representing individuals who have been wrongfully injured or harmed through no fault of their own.. Since joining Bernsen Law Firm, I have given all I can to seek full compensation for each of our clients.  I have tried numerous jury trials to verdict and plan to continue fighting for each client's rights.

I firmly believe that the best lawyers are those that maintain open lines of communicaiton with their clients.  Whether it is a criminal case or personal injury lawsuit, most clients have little experience in the court system.  An attorney who takes the time to explain what is happening, both good and bad, is a must.  I make myself available by phone, email, or in person.

My mother, Gerry Juhan, was from Beaumont, Texas. My grandfather worked at Mobil for more than 30 years.   We moved back to Texas during my sophmore year of high school.  I graduated from South Park High School in 1982.   I went straight to Lamar University.    I graduated from Lamar in 1986.  I went straight to South Texas College of Law, located in downtown Houston.   My daughter Jessica was born  during law school   I graduated from law schoool in 1989.  I have been in private practice since 1989.   I started my own law firm in 2003..

After attending Lamar University and obtaining a degree in Criminal Justice, I worked as a paralegal for two years. In doing that work, I discovered a passion for the law and a talent for connecting with people and helping them navigate through legal issues. Taking three years off work to attend law school full-time was not an option for me, so I continued working full-time during the day and attended law school in the evenings at South Texas College of Law in Houston. I graduated law school in 2004 and was hired immediately by a small Beaumont firm whose primary practice area was personal injury defense. I remained with the firm for almost 7 years, eventually branching out to open my own practice focusing primarily on family law. I enjoy the challenges family law brings, but more than that, I enjoy helping my clients navigate through difficult times and giving them the peace of mind of knowing that we will get through whatever transition they are facing together. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss options for assisting you with your legal issues.
