After attending Lamar University and obtaining a degree in Criminal Justice, I worked as a paralegal for two years. In doing that work, I discovered a passion for the law and a talent for connecting with people and helping them navigate through legal issues. Taking three years off work to attend law school full-time was not an option for me, so I continued working full-time during the day and attended law school in the evenings at South Texas College of Law in Houston. I graduated law school in 2004 and was hired immediately by a small Beaumont firm whose primary practice area was personal injury defense. I remained with the firm for almost 7 years, eventually branching out to open my own practice focusing primarily on family law. I enjoy the challenges family law brings, but more than that, I enjoy helping my clients navigate through difficult times and giving them the peace of mind of knowing that we will get through whatever transition they are facing together. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss options for assisting you with your legal issues.

I represent citizens who have been accused of violating the criminal laws of Texas. I have lived in the Waco/Central Texas area since 1991. Prior to becoming an attorney, I did several things: radio announcer, commercial roofing, registered nurse. As much as I love all of the career paths I have followed, nothing excites me more than practicing criminal law. I have been blessed with a great business partner, and talented attorneys and staff. We look forward to helping you with any legal issues you may have.. I have been married for 19 years (all of the time to the same woman :) ) and we have one son.
