I grew up moving all around the world, but spent most of my childhood calling Beaumont, Texas home. I studied at Tulane University. After obtaining my undergraduate degree, I stayed at Tulane University School of Law to earn my juries doctorate. Before starting my own firm, I was counsel to international maritime corporations and worked with the Office of the Texas Attorney General.. Today, my practice focuses on business and trademark disputes, civil litigation and personal injury, where I have obtained settlements for clients upwards of six-figures.. I am told that I am quick to make a friend or crack a joke. I am hardworking but have an easygoing personality. I enjoy spending my free time hiking, camping, and finding other outdoor activities to tie up my time.
