Attorney at Law

I've been a solo practitioner from the beginning. After earning my J.D. from the South Texas College of Law Houston, I opened my own firm with the intention of representing people in their everyday legal problems. From divorce proceedings to will contests, I have the skills and personal touch to help you seek a solution. In addition to family law and probate, I also handle criminal defense cases involving DWI and assault. Contact my office in Houston today to schedule a consultation. I serve clients throughout both Harris and Galveston counties, including Clear Lake, Galveston, Friendswood, Seabrook, Kemah, and League City, Texas.
