As a Partner and Attorney with KingSpry’s Family Law/Adoption and Education/Special Educaiton departments, I understand that when it comes to legal matters, few areas are as personal and important to us as those that affect our children and our family lives. Issues related to custody, adoption, foster care, and guardianship require not only a highly effective legal expert, but a lawyer who can treat clients with compassion and understanding. This is what drew me to concentrate my practice in areas of law that address the needs of children and families, and this is what drives me to give every client personalized and exceptional service.. I worked as a masters-level therapist for several years before returning to school in a dual degree program in law and psychology.  I completed a second master's degree and additional clinical experience before deciding the practice of law gave me more of the kind of opportunity I was seeking to help people dealing with life transitions and family matters.. This clinical background still serves me as a lawyer, giving me an insight into my clients’ lives and a broader perspective to draw from when helping resolve their legal matters. My studies in child development inform the guidance I provide to clients regarding how to safeguard the child’s best interest in custody and other issues.. While I am always focused on fulfilling my obligation to pursue my clients’ goals, my passion for child welfare leads me to approach custody, foster care, and other legal issues with the best interest of the child in mind. I offer counsel that helps families consider how the decisions they are making will impact the children involved.. My goal as a lawyer is to help my clients consider a broad range of options, make informed decisions, and achieve the quickest and best resolution to their legal matters as possible. To do this, I combine my strong legal expertise and clinical background with a passion for helping families through what are often very emotionally charged circumstances.

Approaching 17 years of age I had a moment in my life in which what I wanted out of life became clear. It was not being a lawyer, instead what I concluded would give me a fulfilling life would be to start a family and be a father. Considering the gravity of my goal I then had to come up with something I could do to earn a living that could support a family and provide for them a life as good as I was blessed by my own parents. Thus I buckled down and took the time to think of the skills I possessed as well as what I enjoyed. That was when I landed on the profession of attornies and after deciding to take the route towards an attorney I never looked back and plowed forward with stubborn will power that took me from a demotivated high school student to a graduate of the Univerisity of Texas School of Law.. I'm stubborn and I love to argue and get into the details of matters to learn the rules of what I'm dealing with. Tempering this, much to the joy of my girlfriend, is a heart that was taught to be charitable and always seek to help others when I can. On top of all this are words paraphrased from my father, "don't worry about money, worry about being good at what you do. Once you are good at what you do the money will come naturally."

Contested and uncontested probate and guardianships and estate planning for flat fees when possible. Offices in Dallas and Tarrant Counties.. We are a full-service probate firm -- including estate planning, guardianship, and probate. We strive to take the fear and unpredictability out of the legal process by being clear on our services and setting flat-fees whenever possible. We handle both planning and contests so we see, from first-hand experience, how to plan to avoid problems. Our goal is achieve the best result for the client, whether that means trial or resolution. In probate matters, the issue is always how to get the needed result for the least cost. To give clients ease of mind, we use flat-fee arrangements in almost all non-contested matters. In contested matters, we carefully work with clients to understand their goals, their budget, and pursue the strategy that gives that result. Many "probate" lawyers know the rules, but don't know how to win cases before a jury. If there is any chance that your case will be contested, I urge you to find a lawyer, like me, who is ready to win your case in court but willing to consider out-of-court settlement when appropriate.
