There have been many experiences that have shaped me into the lawyer I am today. In College, I earned my degree in Criminal Justice because I knew I had a passion for helping people involved in the criminal process. This continued on into law school when I interned for the Federal Public Defender's Office and learned how criminal defendants are in a highly vulnerable position, not knowing what will happen to them and what consequences they face when pitted against the vast resources of the government.. For over a decade I have strived to provide all my clients with advanced, thorough, and knowledgeable representation in their times of turmoil and despair. I have years of experience in the courtroom and against opposing attorneys that I can and will use to your benefit. The best compliment I have received is repeat business and referrals from past clients. When someone trusts me enough to recommend me to their own family members, that's when I know I've developed a meaningful connection with them and earned their confidence in my abilities.. I truly enjoy the practice of law and I sincerely hope that I can continue to build and grow my bonds with those people in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex that are looking for a life-long relationship with an attorney that will always appreciate their trust and work hard to keep it.

Thank you for checking me out on AVVO! I would love to give you some background on myself. For the past 18 of 22 years I have dedicated my life to criminal law practice. I know how to defend a case because I've been the person who brought the cases; I know how the state thinks and I know where to push. Although I am experienced on both sides of the table, and on the bench, criminal defense work has been the most rewarding career I have ever had. I was appointed Presiding Judge for the City of McKinney from 2019-2024, and am a former prosecutor with experience trying all types of felony and misdemeanor cases including DWI, theft, assault, child crimes, fraud, murder, sexual assault, burglary, robbery, and organized crime. I was assigned Second Assistant District Attorney & Chief of Misdemeanor Trial Division. I trained numerous prosecutors, staff, and police on courtroom procedure and testimony. Prior to my time as Second Assistant, I was the Chief Felony Prosecutor for the Special Prosecution Division, responsible for prosecution of financially motivated criminal activity, organized crime, and public integrity matters. I was trained in cyber crime and computer forensics at the National Institute for Computer Forensics (NCFI), the Secret Services' training facility, in Hoover Alabama. Other assignments as an ADA included the Crimes Against Children Division, Felony Trial Team, and Drug Court. Prior to my time as an assistant district attorney, I was a civil litigator in downtown Dallas.
