About Bethel
Biography
I took an interest in criminal law during my involvement with the UT Arlington Innocence Project. This invaluable experience inspired me to change career paths and pursue a law degree. After law school, I was fortunate to obtain an associate position with an excellent criminal defense and family law firm in Arlington, Texas. Working for a small but high-volume firm provided me the opportunity to participate in seven jury trials as of August 2015. In the pursuit of becoming an excellent trial attorney, I attended the Summer 2014 Trial Lawyers College founded by Gerry Spence, recognized nationwide for his countless courtroom victories. I strive to provide a client-centered approach by investigating the facts of your case and providing knowledgeable representation to obtain the most favorable results for each client.
