I received my Juris Doctor degree in 1996 and was licensed to practice law that same year.

I focus on criminal defense with some work in the immigration law area that is related to criminal defense. By concentrating in these areas, I avoid spreading myself too thin and have been able to achieve a high level of competency in the criminal defense field. I have handled hundreds of criminal cases from low end misdemeanors (Class B and above) to the most serious of felonies.. I am authorized by the Texas Supreme Court to practice law in the state of Texas. I am also authorized to practice in the United States Supreme Court and in the Federal Court of the Northern District of Texas. I am a member of the State Bar of Texas College which requires continuing legal education well above what is normally required. I am also a member of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association , the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and the Rockwall County Bar Association.
