I have been board certified in Consumer and Commercial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 2001. In addition to my law degree, I have. a MBA from U.T. in Austin.  Although I continue to practice commercial and consumer litigation, my primary area of practice the last 5 or 6 years has been litigating ERISA claims.  I have three wonderful children and enjoy writing and sports in my spare time.  I am a frustrated philospher and have taught philosophy at Incarnate Word (University).

I'm a criminal defense attorney living and practicing law in San Antonio, Texas. I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Texas at Austin, with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy. Following a brief stint on Capitol Hill, I attended Case Western Reserve University School of Law in Cleveland. Since that time I have diligently worked to protect the rights of citizens accused of crimes and faithfully represent them in court.

I practice State and Federal, Trial and Appellate Criminal Defense in the State of Texas and in federal courts across the country. I also represent individuals and business entities in State and Federal Civil and Criminal Forfeiture cases.

I have practiced criminal law in San Antonio and the surrounding areas for over 20 years.  I like what I do.  I believe every person deserves a zealous defense.  It doesn't matter to me if you are innocent, guilty, or somewhere in between.  It is my goal to protect your record and  to do my best to keep it as clean as possible.  This means that just because you are "guilty" I am still going to hold the State to the high burden of being able to prove your case and I am going to do everything I can to obtain the best result for you.  I also will go to trial when necessary.  I have handled almost every type of criminal case from traffic tickets up to capital murder and I am very familiar with the Bexar County Courts.. If you have a question on a criminal case feel free to call me or send me a message.  There is no commitment for that call and no pressure to hire our office.  I will be honest and upfront with you as to my opinion and the fees that are charged.  I believe it is important to have an attorney you trust and can communicate with.  You can and should call as many attorneys as you feel you need to find the one who is right for you.  All attorneys are not created equal and not every attorney will really care what happens in your case.  Even the best attorneys handle similar cases differently.  It is important for you to find an attorney who handles your case the way you feel most comfortable with.  Every individual represented by my office deserves respect and hopefully that is the way all of my previous clients feel they were treated.

I came to the practice of law by a circuitous route and relatively late in life following a series of earlier careers. My first real job was at the Pearl Brewing Company and I made my way up to the position of Executive Secretary to the President. I became pregnant with my first child around the time Pear Brewing Company was sold, so I then became a stay-at-home mom/volunteer/school board member during the time my three daughters attended St. Luke's Catholic School. By then I was ready to re-enter the paid workforce and I decided to listen to an inner voice that had been urging me for some time to look at a law career. I got a job in a law firm as a secretary while taking night classes and soon became a Certified Legal Assistant focusing in civil litigation and worked in that field for ten years before deciding to make the leap from legal assistant to lawyer. I took the LSAT and applied to several Texas law schools, not sure if any of them would be interested in having a middle-aged grandmother attending their esteemed institutions. Happily, I heard from several and I happily attended the Texas Tech University School of Law and the Rawls School of Business from 2004 to 2007, earning joint degrees of a Juris Doctorate and MBA. Since 2007 I have operated as a solo practitioner focusing in the area of wills, trusts and probate as well as small business start-ups.. I am the mother of three beautiful daughters and grandmother of three incredible youngsters. I am also the proud mom of four cats and grandmother to a spoiled Husky named Gypsy. When I'm not working I read incessantly, knit whenever I can find the time, love eating out with my friends and having my grandkids over to play.
