I currently represent clients in a range of litigation matters, including complex aviation-related business litigation on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants, as well as products liability and catastrophic personal injury litigation, through both trial and appeal. I was named "Best of the Best" in the area of Civil Litigation by the Texas Lawyers Group in 2012 and selected for Rising Star Super Lawyers for the past two years.. Prior to attending law school, I ran a successful translation practice (Spanish/English), principally focusing on legal and commercial transactions. This gave me a unique opportunity to address legal issues and concerns frequently raised in commercial transactions—with an international twist. This experience renewed my interest in the law and ultimately inspired me to attend law school.

I am a pro-business attorney.  I work for my client to meet their needs, not my own.  Therefore, I
strive to inform my clients of the legal issues and options available
to them in each stage of the deal.  But, I realize that it is really their business (or opportunity)
not mine. They make the final informed decisions rather than me.  In that way, my client is most comfortable with the results.. I strive to ethically represent my client's best interests in all ways and at all times.  Therefore, while giving them the best legal representation that I can provide, I also try to identify: 1) non-legal issues that they may also need to consider; and 2) specialized professionals who they may also need to consult in order to be fully informed about the impact of their plans. I understand that there are often other professionals who are better equipped to meet my client's complete needs and encourage their participation.
