Do not hire, no response, money hungry and not a good attorney. Here is the grievance I filed: Matters Paid and Not Served: You were retained and paid for legal services in the following matters: 1. Divorce Representation – Paid in full. No petition filed, no action taken, and no communication o...r updates provided. 2. Eviction Case Representation – Paid for full representation. Matter was handled negligently and unprofessionally, resulting in avoidable harm and losses. 3. Felony Criminal Defense (Harris County) – Paid in full. No action taken, no motions filed, no appearances made, and no legal guidance provided. Violations and Ethical Breaches: Your failure to perform the contracted services and your lack of communication and diligence constitute violations of the following legal and ethical duties: • TDRPC Rule 1.01 (Competent and Diligent Representation) – You failed to carry out the legal representation with competence or diligence. • TDRPC Rule 1.03 (Communication) – You failed to keep me reasonably informed about the status of my matters. • TDRPC Rule 1.04 (Fees) – You failed to provide a basis for the fees charged and have not provided an itemized statement as required. • TDRPC Rule 8.04(a)(3) – You engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation by accepting payment and failing to perform any meaningful legal services. In addition, under Texas ethics law and common law fiduciary duties, an attorney must account for all funds received from a client and may only retain funds for services actually rendered. Failure to do so may constitute fee forfeiture, breach of fiduciary duty, and may also rise to the level of legal malpractice.

Had caught a couple of cases in Fort Bend County. Was at risk of losing my job and even more MY FREEDOM! I was given a court appointed lawyer at first but after barely ever hearing from her I decided it would be in my best interest to scrape up the coins and get a "REAL" attorney to represent me. I c...ouldn't have made a better decision! Whenever I had questions I could call or send her a text and she would respond by end of day. She definitely knows her stuff and knows how to shoot it to you straight with realistic answers. Doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. She was able to get both of my cases dismissed and I was able to avoid jail time AND probation! If you want an attorney that will actually fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, there simply is no better option in my opinion. Thank you so much!
