About Dominic
Biography
I was born in Houston and grew up in Hallettsville, TX. For several years I lived in Estevayer-le-Lac, Switzerland where I attended L’Institut du Sacré Coeur. I achieved fluency in French and studied international commerce and law. I returned to America and enrolled at Texas A&M University where I got a BS in Agribusiness. I spent the next two years working in the banking industry, and then enrolled in Baylor Law School. While at Baylor Law, I did an internship with the law firm of Cabinet du Kap-Herr in Paris, France. I also served as the law clerk for the 54th district court in McLennan County, TX. I graduated from Baylor Law in 2009. I went to work in Beaumont TX For the Ferguson firm where I practiced Plaintiff’s Personal Injury Law. While at the Ferguson Firm, I tried several cases and obtained many favorable results including $825’000 settlement in an on the job closed head injury, $350’ verdict in a slip and fall case, and a $500’ settlement in a carbon monoxide exposure case. I then returned to Waco and joined Giles & Giles in 2011 where I practice Personal Injury, Criminal, and Family Law. I am married to Sabrina Braus and we have one Daughter named Madlenne and a son Named Dos. I consider myself a sports fan, and I enjoy all sports, but there is a special place in my heart for College and Professional Football. I am also a very poor golfer. I am passionate about being a lawyer, and I especially love being in the courtroom. I am licensed to practice Law in Texas state court as well as in the Eastern, Southern, and Western Districts of Texas. I am a member of The State Bar of Texas, Texas Young Lawyers Association, Delta Theta Phi Legal Fraternity, McLennan County Bar Association, TTLA, and The Aggie Bar Association.

I Didn't Have to Deal With Any Stress
In 2010, I got in a horrible car accident. I told myself: "God forbid, if I was to ever get into another accident, I would call a lawyer."
