Firm: Bernsen Law Firm

I grew up in Southeast Texas. After high school, I attended Lamar University where I obtained a Bachelor's of Business Administration in Finance, with honors. I then moved to Houston to attend South Texas College of Law. While in law school, I clerked for two federal judges, Judge Frances H. Stacy and Judge Marcia A. Crone.  I was also an Articles Editor for the South Texas Law Review, an advocate for South Texas’ nationally ranked moot court team, and served as a Langdell Scholar for Torts I and Constitutional Law.. After law school, I moved back to Southeast Texas and worked as a defense lawyer for Orgain, Bell, & Tucker LLP in Beaumont.  Although it was great experience, I quickly realized that representing insurance companies and insurance adjusters did not provide me with the personal fulfillment I desired.  As a result, I joined Bernsen Law FIrm to pursue his true passion of representing individuals who have been wrongfully injured or harmed through no fault of their own.. Since joining Bernsen Law Firm, I have given all I can to seek full compensation for each of our clients.  I have tried numerous jury trials to verdict and plan to continue fighting for each client's rights.
