I am known for innovative thinking and created several national models for the legal system including Felony Murder prosecutions for Habitual DWI killers, No Refusal to make the arrest and judicial processes more efficient, efficient court case management programs, Skype testimony, and more. Two separate groups have named me the nation's top lawyer in my field and I received a public service award from NHTSA in 2013.  I know the system and get along well with prosecutors, judges, and police.  I want to put this experience to work for you!

I was born and raised in the Houston area, and left to attend Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. After graduating with a degree in Political Science, I returned to Houston to attend law school at South Texas College of Law.. During law school, I held an internship with the Harris County Public Defender's Office, and found that my heart and passion lay in defending people and their freedom. Just after becoming licensed as an attorney, I started my own law practice focusing on criminal defense.. Shortly thereafter, I was one of ten young attorneys selected by the Harris County Public Defender's Office to participate in the Future Appointed Counsel Training Program, a pilot program designed to train young defense attorneys. Through that program I was afforded the opportunity to train with Gideon's Promise and their faculty consisting of some of the best public defenders and defense attorneys from across the nation.
