My practice consists of civil litigation in both state and federal courts throughout Texas and Arkansas. I am an AV rated attorney by Martindale-Hubbell. Advocating the legal rights of my clients over the past decade, I have tried cases before both judges and juries in Texas and Arkansas. I work continually and diligently to zealously represent my clients' legal interests. The benchmark of my practice is a combination of skill, a strong commitment to my clients and an enduring respect for the judicial system.
