Top Family Lawyers in ZIP 77401 | 14 available

Prior to law school, I served in the active component of the United States Army as a member of the Judge Advocate General’s Corps (“JAG”) and it is there I developed a strong interest in becoming a trial lawyer. I continue to serve in the United States Military in the Army Reserves as a Logistics officer. My military experience has enhanced my ability to communicate with, relate to, and work well with a diverse group of people and has also contributed to my steadfast belief in the liberties and rights afforded under the United States Constitution. As such, my passion for the practice law is fueled by my dedication to public service and commitment to serving the interests of all.

I was born in Houston and raised in Pearland, Texas. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in History at The Ohio State University in 2013. I was then a Dean’s List student at South Texas College of Law, where I obtained my mediator certificate and juris doctorate in 2016.. In my years of practice, I have gained valuable experience in family law, including divorce, child custody, child support, visitation, community property divisions, prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, domestic relations orders, protective orders, name changes, enforcements, and modifications. Since family law cases can create tremendous financial and emotional hardships on all parties involved, it is my philosophy to first exhaust all possible efforts to amicably resolve the issues through mediation or dispute resolution before going to trial. Should such dispute resolution efforts be unsuccessful, I am ready, willing, and able to take the matter to trial and fight for my clients.. In addition to family law, I also practice probate law, civil litigation, transactional drafting, estate document drafting, and criminal defense.. I am an avid sports fan and movie buff, and I enjoy spending quality time with my family, friends, and my dog, Brutus, in my spare time.

I have lived in the Houston, Texas area for over 26 years.  I graduated from law school at University of Houston Law Center and never left.  I am now married and have two children of my own.  I enjoy practicing in the area of family law as it involves helping people who need help navigating some very difficult waters.  I try to make this very stressful time a little less difficult.

COMPETENCE, COMPASSION and COMMITMENT. =======. After 25  years of practicing law, I can truly say -- without hesitating -- that I love what I do for a living!  Working with people who are often voiceless and/or powerless against ill-intentioned companies brings me joy.
