I am a former Felony Prosecutor and Chief Prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney's Office with over ten years practicing law. I have represented people from many different backgrounds including working class people, veterans, and professionals such as doctors, business people, and pharmacists. I frequently represent non-citizens facing potential immigration consequences. My philosophy on the aggressive and effective defense of people accused by the police of breaking the law is to "speak softly, and carry a big stick."

Son's Case Quickly Dismissed
My son made a bad decision in a moment of anger and was arrested over it. He admitted to doing it and I was worried what impact his case would have on his future.

Nathaniel gave me clear directions on how to collect evidence and what to expect, and was able to...
