Let me share a little bit about myself before you explore my site at   in more details.. I love going deep sea fishing off the coasts of Texas and Jamaica. No, I am not Jamaican. I am a native Texas, born and reared in Belton, Bell County, Texas. Many Waco, Temple and Killeen dui, dwi and drunk driving lawyers - attorneys love to tell "war stories" about their most interesting cases; however, I enjoy hearing other people fish stories while "looking" at the pictures of the ones that got away.. I am obsessed with technology and the internet. My undergraduate degree is in Industrial Electronic Technology. Hence, my office makes abundant use of technology for frequent clients' case updates and to keep costs down.. Since, you are reading this online, you are internet savvy, right?. Finally, I am a person dedicated to clients' education and clients' information, but, I balance work with having fun. I truly enjoy what I do. I also truly enjoy being around people who are cheerful, outgoing, friendly and witty. As my granny use to say, "all work and no fun is boring.". Now for a serious note . . . you can't win . . . if you don't go to trial.

I have been a judge, prosecutor and defense attorney for over 29 years.  I have tried over 200 jury trials and handled over 10,000 criminal cases.  I have a winning rapport with juries and judges alike.. I love the field I am in. To me, criminal law is about 2 things: people and facts.  I enjoy unraveling both and getting to the who and why of a particular offense.  Then my job is to persuade the prosecuting attorney to adopt my vision of the case.. When this is not feasible, a trial is often the last recourse.  While trials are emotionally taxing on the client, the system often corrects errors in arrests and overly aggressive plea offers, bringing equity to the client.. It is an honor and a privilege to practice criminal law.
