I have devoted my adult life to preparing and practicing criminal defense law. The time I spent as an Assistant District Attorney was to gain experience for my private practice. My children have followed in my footsteps and as a result my son practices criminal law with me and my daughter is a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney's Office. People often ask me when I plan to retire. I say to them, "Why? I love working with my kids and I live for the everyday challenge of protecting the constitutional rights of the accused. Advanced trial and people skills can only be developed thru years of of waging the good fight for clients in the courtroom. I have enjoyed my duties as Adjunct Professor of Criminal Law and Procedure at San Jacinto College and I take every opportunity possible to mentor young lawyers who are trying to learn our complicated and important system of justice.

We Help Good People Avoid the Devastating Consequences of Criminal Charges.. When I was younger, I was arrested for DWI. I remember the feelingthat came with the arrest. I was embarrassed, I was confused, andI didn’t know who to turn to for help. I went to my first court date notknowing what to expect.. Thankfully, my case was dismissed, but even after that, I didn’t knowthat I was eligible to have the arresat taken off of my record. Everytime I went for a job interview or applied for school, I went throughthe same feelings all over. I had to explain what happened and whyI was arrested. Every time, it was embarrassing and I never knewhow the arrest would impact me.. After graduating law school, I have been helping people that are inthe same position that I was. Every day, I remember that there aregood people being accused of crimes. They are going through thesame system that I had to go through and they are feeling the samethings that I felt. I have made it my mission to help these people out.Not only to get the best outcome, but to walk beside them as theygo through the process.

Thankfully, I was able to get past that arrest years ago. Now, I getto help other people get past their arrests.
