About Donald
Biography
I have been married for 43 years have 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren. I live in Friendswood, Tx. and have my law office at the same location on North Memorial Way since 1970. I enjoy walking in Memorial Park, fishing, gardening, and spending time at our family retreat in the Texas Hill Country feeding deer, birds, and other wildlife. But the best time I have is spending time with my grandchildren. Additionally I am a long time resident of the Houston area having graduated from Bellaire High School in 1960. I really enjoy helping people with their legal problems and taking on the giant corporations for ordinary people.
