With over two decades of courtroom experience, I bring a rare combination of prosecution, defense, and civil litigation insight to every case I handle. Before joining Thiessen Law Firm, I served as Deputy Chief of All Criminal Courts for the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, overseeing every type of case from Capital Murder to Class C misdemeanors. My leadership spanned multiple divisions—including Misdemeanor, Environmental, and Alternative Solutions—where I trained new prosecutors and managed thousands of cases each year.
As a seasoned trial lawyer, I have first-chaired more than 30 jury trials ranging from murder to aggravated assault and has argued before Texas appellate courts. In private practice, I've represented individuals and businesses in complex civil litigation, environmental enforcement, employment law, and criminal defense.
I earned my Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law, where Iserved as Executive Editor of the Syracuse Law Review and a member of the Moot Court Honor Society. I also hold a Master of Science in Environmental and Natural Resource Science and a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Biology.
Admitted to practice in Texas, the U.S. Supreme Court, and multiple federal courts, I now focus my practice on defending clients facing criminal charges across Texas. Known for my proactive representation, courtroom presence, and ability to see every angle of a case, I brings both precision and passion to protecting ,my clients’ rights.
Outside the courtroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active, and playing soccer.
