I have spent the past 27 years trying cases in the defense of people charged with crimes.  I love what I do and I have always been and continue to be humbled and honored to represent my clients.  Each of us is a walking story and finding out what that story is one of the most fascinating aspects of my job.  It is also the part of my job that can be the most heartbreaking.  When someone is placed into my care, I believe it is for a reason; that we, my client and I, are part of team is not happenstance.. I have been very lucky to have been trained by some of the best lawyers in the country:  Gerry Spence, Randi McGinn, Roger Dodd, Larry Pozner, Terrance MacCarthy, and Michael Tigar are but a few of the many, many talented and gifted lawyers that have been so giving of their time.  I have taken the many lessons and skills that I have been taught and continue to hone those skills to better represent those that have been placed in my care.

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

I am committed to protecting your rights. I'm an experienced lawyer, former prosecutor, and former peace officer. I've handled cases from the lowest level trial courts to the United States Supreme Court. Even though my cases can be complex, however, my clients appreciate the way I can explain them in an easy to understand manner.. I’ve handled hundreds of criminal cases at the trial level as well as over 300 criminal cases on appeal or in other post-conviction areas (habeas writs, DNA actions, etc.). I’ve argued cases before the Texas Supreme Court’s criminal branch as both a prosecutor and a defense lawyer. I’ve also handled cases in federal appellate courts and, twice, in the United States Supreme Court. These are all criminal cases.. I helped lead a legislative review committee for criminal law bills and explained those bills to Texas legislators--many of whom had little criminal experience. I was also selected by the Texas Bar president to sit on the State Bar committee for the Rules of Evidence. I served in that capacity for years, helping to review and improve our Texas Rules of Evidence.. In 2018 I expanded my practice into the area of personal injury. Too many of my clients had been injured by reckless drivers or unsafe job conditions. Given that most civil attorneys have very little courtroom experience, I found that the transition helped my clients enormously.. Now I bring this knowledge and experience to people like you, relentlessly representing clients in all courts and on all types of criminal charges and personal injury cases.
