I take great pride in my ability to make good things happen for my injured clients. This is the direct result of hard work, attention to detail, excellent case preparation and proven litigation skills.

I have successfully litigated cases in state and federal court. Since graduating from SMU with my JD in 2004, I have developed an impressive track record in jury trials, non-jury trials, and arbitrations as a result of dedicated preparation and artful lawyering skills. I have tried, and won, cases in seven (7) different counties in Texas. It is common for me to make six and seven digit recoveries for clients who had been told by other attorneys that they don’t have a case. In fact, in 2011, I had four separate cases settle for hundreds of thousands of dollars each, and each of them had been dropped by other attorneys.. Most importantly, however, I am compassionate to my clients’ plights, and maintain the personal motto and pledge to clients that “We are in this thing together.”.

I am from a small town in Central Texas and while my practice has taken me to 48 of the 50 states and I've tried cases and argued before courts across the country, I still have a small-town mentality when it comes to my clients.  I make sure they know I am here for their needs and to take care of them at a time they feel like they can't take care of themselves.

I am relentless in fighting for justice for my clients that have been injured or killed by the wrongful conduct of others.

My practice is focused on catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation across the country that arises from negligence, gross negligence, defective products, corporate greed, premises liability, malpractice, and toxic torts.. I began my legal career defending companies that were sued for causing injuries. After two years, I saw first-hand the greed and dishonesty of big corporations and insurance companies, and I switched sides to only represent people that were injured and needed a voice.. There was one case in particular that I worked on involving a young boy who died after falling off a slide on a Dairy Queen playground. After handling that case, I knew I couldn’t work for big corporations and insurance companies anymore. I was put on this earth to help people, not harm them. So, far the last 20 years, I have spent my time relentlessly fighting for those without a voice. I handle all types of catastrophic injury and death cases..
