At Harvard, I served as Historian of the Harvard Political Union, the College's debating society, and as Secretary of Harvard CHANCE, a group dedicated to mentoring and tutoring students from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. While participating in the leadership of CHANCE, I also helped two recently-immigrated students prepare for their English as a Second Language exam. After graduating from college, I came back to Texas for law school, finishing with Honors from the University of Texas School of Law in 2007. During my time there, I served as Development Editor of The Review of Litigation and as Chair of the Career Services Committee of the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society. In my final year, I participated in the school’s first Supreme Court Clinic. We convinced the United States Supreme Court to review our client's case during a term in which the Court agreed to hear only 78 of the 8,517 cases filed.. After graduation, I returned to Houston to clerk for the Honorable Jerry E. Smith of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. During my time with Fifth Circuit, I worked on cases ranging from insurance law to administrative law to one of the most watched white-collar criminal cases of the 21st century. I then worked for two years at the Houston trial firm that pioneered contingent-fee commercial litigation, handling bet-the-company litigation..

I joined The Alfred Firm in 2025. For the past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working on behalf of hundreds of clients in seeking the justice they deserve and are owed. I am also Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.. I began my career in law representing companies but realized immediately that my passion is helping people. Often times, an individual comes to our office as a last resort after being rejected, ridiculed and treated with little or no respect by the company that is responsible for their injuries.. At The Alfred Firm, it is my job as an attorney to be the voice in the courtroom for those severely injured. A voice with compassion, integrity and understanding. Often, the greatest feeling of satisfaction I have received after trying a case to a jury or securing a settlement for my client is when the client considers me a friend.. Whether a phone call a few years later just to say hello or a simple note letting me know how I was able to help change their life for the better, I know I am following my passion because I am helping people- I am helping friends.. A native Texan, I grew up in Houston, Texas and later graduated from Texas A&M University. Growing up, I was active in the Boy Scouts and attained the highest honor, Eagle Scout. While attending college, I was a member of the Corps of Cadets and held numerous leadership positions within the Corps and other academic organizations. I earned my law degree from South Texas College of Law where I was active in the mock trial program.. Following law school, I began my law practice at a national defense firm where I successfully represented Fortune 500 companies in product liability, employment, and mass tort. I soon realized in 2007 that my passion was representing individuals and families injured as a result of the negligence of companies or someone else. I take pride in being one of the few who are looking out for the individual's rights and not the bottom line.. I have obtained significant verdicts and settlements for my clients involving offshore injuries, trucking collisions, dangerous products, business litigation matters, and other significant general personal injury and wrongful death cases.

I have spent my adult life trying to help those in need.. For 21 years I was a U.S. Air Force pilot and officer, and protected the United States, it's citizens, and Allies.  I am a combat veteran.  I am also a disabled veteran.. Today I protect and help clients facing legal issues ranging from consumers facing landlord-tenant issues, homeowners who have issues with construction defects, advise health care providers with their employment contracts or formation of their business entity, to my passion of helping veterans who are seeking benefits from the VA.. Assisting Veterans obtain and fight for their VA Disability Benefits is my passion.  As a disabled veteran myself, not only do I understand the frustration veterans face in the hampster-wheel process of the VA benefits process.  Not only do I understand the veterans, I am an expert in VA Law.. As a VA Accredited Attorney, I know the VA laws and regulations.  This knowledge allows me to assist veteran's obtain their benefits.  The VA is overwhelmed with case files.  An average Decision Review Officer has around 3000 cases assigned to them.  They do not have the time to read each page and determine how the veteran needs to support their case with evidence.  Instead the average VA rater reads to find errors and then denies the claim.. As an experienced VA Accrediated attorney I know how to develop the evidence to support your VA claim.. In my private life, I love my 4 children and when they were younger I was a baseball manager & coach while on active duty.  I am active in my church, enjoy gardening, raising citrus and tropical trees and plants, and being with my friends and family.

I have devoted my career to the practice of criminal law and I am honored to fight for my clients everyday.

I have been practicing law since 1992.  My emphasis has been on representing entrepreneurial businesses.  While in high school, I started a concert promotion business where I bought concert tickets, rented buses and sold "packages" to students to see top flight acts like Elton John, Yes, Grateful Dead, Billy Joel, etc.  I also bought end of season close outs of name brand clothes and sold the clothes at local flea markets, including Sassoon and Jordache brands. Later I moved to Texas and collaborated with an equipment finance company to lease vehicles to businesses.  Until I went to law school, I typically had at least two jobs at a time and sometimes a small business as well.  After law school I finished an MBA.  I have been appointed receiver over more than five hundred businesses by courts all over Texas.  The businesses range from dental offices to tanning salons.  From software developers to ranching operations. These court assignments have given me an understanding of certain commonalities to all businesses, as well as a wide range of practical experiences.  My client base is even broader than the range of businesses I have been involved in.  I try to deliver excellent results for my client at reasonable prices.  My goal is to establish long term relationships with clients so I can understand their needs and their inclinations as best as I can.  Knowing my clients well allows me to deliver individually tailored services instead of one size fits all.  In addition to helping with business transactions, my staff and I have handled hundreds of litigation cases in the courts of the state of Texas.  If you or your business need help, don't hesitate to call me.
