As a Board-Certified Family Law attorney, my practice focuses on complex property and highly contentious custody cases across the State of Texas.  I likewise have a wide range of experience relating to drafting unique/tailored divorce provisions in shareholder and other business entity agreements, including formulas for valuation of the corresponding entity, with "belt and suspenders" to premarital and/or post-marital agreements.  I believe these types of agreements - premarital and post-marital agreements - create a form of "divorce insurance" - insuring and giving peace-of-mind not only to the client but also, when applicable, to the corresponding entity, new shareholders, or even investors from the instability that can often arise during a divorce.. I am Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and a frequent speaker and author.  I have been recognized among Texas' Top Lawyers by Super Lawyers, including Top 50 Women in 2022.  The Houston Business Journal also recognized me among Women Who Mean Business in 2021.. I am a natural competitor, stemming from my extensive soccer experience at the collegiate and National levels.  I attended Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on a full athletic scholorship and played on the Women's Varsity Soccer Team for my four years at Wake Forest.  I graduated in 2007 from Wake Forest with a B.A. in Spanish and Communication, and immediately began my legal careeer at Southern Methodist University (SMU) Dedman School of Law, graduating in 2010.. My goal is to empower my clients to become effective advocates for themselves and their families by providing dedicated, zealous and results-oriented representation before, during, and after litigation.

"AV" Peer-Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell; named "Texas Super Lawyer" and "Rising Star" by Texas Monthly Magazine; named one of "Houston's Best Lawyers" by H-Texas Magazine.

Member of the American Law Institute.. I have compteted in several Houston marathons and one 70.3 Ironman Triathlon, as well as some smaller triathlons.  I spend most of my non-working time with my three young children, who can be as exhausting as any marathon.. When first I talk with a client, my goal is to keep them out of bankrutpcy.  Bankruptcy is truly the last option, and one that I do not recommend lightly.  If a client comes to talk to me sooner (when the financial situation is trending downward and when negative cash flow is just beginning), I can offer them more choices for restructuring their business and less expensive alternatives.  Sometimes people delaty visiting with a bankrutpcy lawyer until it is too late.  Do not let irrational fear guide your business decisions.  Use a level head.  Consult a bankruptcy or turnaround lawyer when you are looking for a turnaround.  You will lose little and stand to gain a great deal from a consultation with someone who has made it his life's work to turnaround struggling businesses and save struggling business owners.. I have represented creditors of all sizes, from massive insititutional lenders to small individual investors.  Generally, as a creditors' counsel, I bring my years of experience to bear in collecting the most money for the least cost.  The aphorism that "one cannot get blood from a turnip" does not require that the prudent creditor simply "write off" bankruptcy debts.  The debtor hopes that you will just go away, but a smart creditor knows his options.  The bankruptcy law provides for extensive scrutiny of the debtor's finances at a moderate cost.  A creditor armed with knowledgable counsel will use the bankruptcy court, the structure of trustees and committess, and the power of effective advocacy to get a useful return.  As the creditor's counsel, my rates are always reasonable, especialy given my expertise.  I charge the same rate for debtor or creditor work - a rate that is substantially lower than that charged by the massive super-firms.
