My practice is focused on federal tax litigation.  I help clients resolve all kinds of disputes with the IRS, including audits, proposed deficiencies, penalty abatement, refund claims, unfiled returns, employment tax and trust fund disputes, and collection issues.  I have been representing clients before the IRS since 1999 and I know the way the IRS works and how to best approach a problem to get it resolved quickly and efficiently.

My practice focuses primarily on personal injury litigation.. Before becoming licensed to practice law, I was the Director of Admission and Financial Aid at a national university in Dallas.. My experience there, and subsequent experience as in-house counsel with a private school in Dallas, naturally progressed into an extensive school law practice. Ultimately, I served as general counsel for a private San Antonio university and developed a strong practice in public entity law. All the while, I continued to handle the litigation of personal injury cases on both sides of the docket, including experience as staff counsel with a large, international insurance company. This experience has proven invaluable in the development, litigation, and negotiation of claims on behalf of injured plaintiffs.

My practice focuses on family law with an emphasis on collaborative divorce and mediation.  In my family law practice, I have always sought mutually beneficial solutions to family disputes while actively representing my clients. After seeing the damage a litigated divorce can do to couples and families, I was happy to discover a positive alternative—collaborative divorce.  Now, as a collaborative practitioner, I have seen firsthand how the collaborative process can help couples reach a settlement as close to win-win as possible under the circumstances.  A divorce is a sad and difficult time, but the collaborative process is designed to help couples get through it constructively. Collaborative means working together, and that’s exactly what the couple, their collaborative lawyers, and any neutral experts on the collaborative team do. This is a radically different approach to divorce but one that makes sense for couples who want a private, respectful, cost-efficient divorce that protects families.  The collaborative process can also be used to resolve family law disputes other than divorces..

I am the youngest of seven boys, and as such I learned at a young age how to fend for myself. In school I was always involved in sports. In high school I won the overall school weightlifting record—a mark that stood for many years. I also earned my eagle scout and today continue to volunteer with Boy Scouts of America. After high school, I spent two years in Peru. Here I became fluent in Spanish and fell in love with the Latin American culture.. After finishing college I went to law school. During law school I met the love of my life, AmyLyn Soelberg. We have now been married for more than ten years. After graduating from law school, I began my legal career as an assistant district attorney.. After spending five years as a prosecutor and handling 30+ jury trials, I co-founded the Packard Law Firm.

I also enjoy serving my community by serving in my church.

My interest in the law came about during my first years of college at the State University of New York.  I had a keen interest in history, Amercian and English history, and a desire to learn about anything I could get my hands on.  During college I worked for the New York State Attorney General in the Consumer Fraud and Protection Bureau then I worked for the New York State Senate and was able to rub shoulders with Lt. Governor Mario Cuomo.. Although able to attend law school in the Northeast, I tired of shoveling snow off the hood of the car, I decided to go South.  I attended my last year of High School in Chihuahua, Mexico.  I returned to school in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. I loved the people and language of Mexico.  I wanted to continue to use Spanish and I sought a school close to Mexico. I attended St. Mary's School of Law graduating in 1987 ( I also took law clases at University of Texas Law School in Austin).. With my interest in constitutional law, I believe my practice which is primarily employment / labor law and criminal law is logical.  Both deal with individual rights and constitutional law.. In my employment / labor practice, I represent both employers and employees (not in the same case!).  The federal and state statutes that define the relationship between employers and employees are complex and are ever-changing through court interpretation.  I have written a deskbook on employment law that divides the complex laws on a conceptual basis for easy use by the practitioner.. In my criminal practice, I defend the accused, from murder to drug cases.  I have also been and continue to be a municipal prosecutor for almost twenty years.  I have been a municipal judge for almost twenty several years.  I am often hired to get involved in a criminal case to determine if evidence can be suppressed (whether statements made by the accused or physical evidence seized by law enforcement). I have secured dismissal in many cases because evidence could not be used.  I prevailed on suppression issues in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and another in the Third Court of Appeals in Austin.  I see first-hand as a city prosecutor the application of the principles of reasonable suspicion, probable cause, and the necessary and proper procedure to get evidence in.. I conduct training for police officers on the proper application of the principles in the Texas Constitution and the U.S. Constitution involving police encounters with citizens in regards to searches and seizures.. Apart from the law, and after my involvement with my children, tennis is my joy.  I try to play three to four times a week.  Tennis anyone???
