I have been practicing law for over 29 years since being licensed in May 1985. I worked for several law firms for 12 years. I did trial work for every law firm I worked for in both federal, state district, and county courts at law in Harris, Brazoria, Fort Bend, and Liberty Counties in Texas. In 1997, I was hired as an Assistant General Counsel for the Houston Independent School District, and I primarily was responsible for assisting the Human Resources Department with employment issues and for terminating certified personnel on written contracts. I did this for 16 years until I left the District in March of 2013.. My practice focuses on business collections and representation, consumer law, employment law, personal injury, and elder law issues. I also provide assistance to business entities involved in personal injury litigation as a Certified Medicare Set-Aside Consultant ("CMSP") and Certified Medicare Secondary Payer Professional ("CMSPP"). I also assist individuals seeking social security benefits.
