About Stephen
Biography
Experienced, Pragmatic, and Solution Orientated
Born in Texas and raised in Corpus Christi. I graduated from W.B. Ray High School, the University of Texas, and finally from SMU School of Law. I have experience working for the government and extensive experience against the government. I have worked for and against insurance companies. I have fought for plaintiffs and defendants. I have helped numerous businesses start, grow, and recover.
Since returning to Corpus after law school, I have worked hard to help make Corpus the best City it can be. My community involvement includes: the Corpus Christi Bar Association, American Cancer Society, the Art Museum of South Texas, Mayors Fitness Council, Downtown Revitalization Alliance, and much more.
As a counselor, litigator, or even mediator my goal is to resolve your problem.
