Hello, and thank you for viewing my information. I primarily handle family and divorce cases in the Central Texas area (cases that are filed in courts located in McLennan County, Texas). I am a municipal prosecutor for two cities. I also handle some bankruptcy (for creditors), business, general civil litigation, personal injury, real estate, tax, and wills & estate planning cases in the Central Texas area. I hold 3 degrees, a doctor of jurisprudence, a bachelor of science in business management, and the police officer standards and training. I live in Hewitt, Texas with my wife, two sons, two dogs, four fish, and a bird.

My hobbies include working out, working on cars and making Youtube videos about the cars, and playing golf and softball when time permits (which it usually doesn't). I was the coach the lawyers team in the annual doctors vs. lawyers charity softball game that went on for about 10 years and have coached little league baseball, girls softball, and adult softball teams.
