I have successfully litigated cases in state and federal court. Since graduating from SMU with my JD in 2004, I have developed an impressive track record in jury trials, non-jury trials, and arbitrations as a result of dedicated preparation and artful lawyering skills. I have tried, and won, cases in seven (7) different counties in Texas.
