I've been licensed in Texas since 2001. I spent the beginning of my career in criminal law as an Assistant District Attorney with the Harris County District Attorney's Office. In 2006, I left the DA's Office to go into private practice. Our boutique firm handles all manner of criminal and civil cases. We are a small firm with our primary office in Houston. We treat our clients like family and work very hard on our cases. Our results speak for themselves. I am also Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
