About Neil
Biography
My practice is solely dedicated to representing people accused of criminal offenses. I became a prosecutor in 1985 for the Dallas County District Attorney's office, after graduating from the SMU School of Law. After serving for 17 years as a prosecutor, I was elected Judge of Dallas County Criminal Court No. 2 in 2002 and served as Judge until 2007. For the past 8 years I have successfully represented individuals accused of DWI, Drugs, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse and Theft, just to name a few. I have been Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1991. Call me today and schedule an appointment for a free consultation.
