I have been practicing law in Texas since 1994, having moved to Houston in 1991 to attend law school.  I attended college in my hometown of Mobile, Alabama and in Wichita, Kansas where I graduated Phi Kappa Phi from Wichita State University with a Bachelor of Arts, magna cum laude in 1990.  I am a member of the State Bar of Texas, Houston Bar Association, and Katy Bar Association.  I practice in Harris, Fort Bend, Waller, Montgomery, and Austin Counties; and am also admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

I have been practicing law for more than 17 years, working side-by-side with thousands of clients and placing their needs at the forefront of everything I do as an attorney.. Long ago, I realized that my drive to serve people as their legal advisor is born out of my desire to care for injured people. Before going to law school, I worked with challenged high school students who were missing something in their lives: a relationship with a caring, compassionate, and empathetic adult. For many years, I was that adult who cared for them mentored them, and equipped them with tools to not just survive but thrive. After getting married and beginning my family, I was ready to take my experience working with high school students to the next level. I discovered a new avenue to serve people – to graciously and empathetically assist injured people, advocate for them, counsel them, guide them, and help them win. I became an attorney.. I represent people who are injured in car collisions and families who need to get back into their home after a hurricane or natural disaster because their insurance company failed them by refusing to pay their claim. I also advocate for business owners who are struggling through a business dispute. I strive to give people the personalized attention and representation they deserve by running a client-centered law firm. Call today for a free case evaluation!. What does it mean to give someone the personalized attention they deserve and to be a client-centered law firm? It means that I reliably return phone calls and emails. It means that I am available to speak with you – my client – directly, and I don’t push off clients to staff members. I compassionately listen to my clients. I take the time to ensure they truly understand everything that is going on in their legal journey. I serve clients by working along-side them to help them recover from their injuries, including a personal injury, a trauma at work, wounds from a natural disaster, or a business dispute.. For me, being client-centered means putting myself in my client’s shoes and looking at the experience of hiring a lawyer and going through a legal matter from their point of view. When doing this, I thoughtfully analyze how I can provide the best client experience.From your first contact with me, I will intelligently and aggressively guide your legal journey, helping you choose which path to take. I think of my clients first in all things, looking at their experience from their perspective. The client is the focal point – the heart and soul – of my practice. I seek to build their trust to do more than help them resolve a discrete legal issue; I want my clients to find peace of mind, reassurance, and the advice they deserve.. I know that a cornerstone of running a client-centered law firm is to build trust with clients, making it easier to build a good working partnership and leave them satisfied and confident that they were front and center of their legal experience from the start until the finish..

I earned my J.D. from South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas in 1992. I started practicing with Alvin M. Rosenthal, one of the great lawyers in Houston's history. After several years of practicing together, Alvin retired and I grew the firm from a two lawyer shop to about a twenty person shop.. I have represented businesses ranging in size from one person start-up ventures to multi-national corporations employing hundreds of people in multiple countries. From 2005 through 2009, I was in-house counsel and chief operating officer of a multi-national corporation in the steel products industry. That in-house position really taught me how businesses work and what they actually need from their lawyers - both in-house and outside counsel.. In 2009, I started the The Weisblatt Law Firm, L.L.C. with the goal of creating a special law firm which could cater to a few clients and provide them the best in legal AND customer service.  I am very proud that the very first customer who hired me in 1992 was also the first customer of The Weisblatt Law Firm, L.L.C. continuing a many decades long relationship.I'm an avid bicycle rider, as well as a motorcycle buff, and have traveled to more than 30 countries.  I live with my dog Sunshine who thinks I am the very best lawyer in the world.
