About John

Learn John’s areas of practice.

I attended the University of Cincinnati from 1969-1973 and graduated with a dual major in both mathematics and economics. After graduation, I moved to Houston to work in the oil business. I began as a computer programmer trainee and later worked as a systems programmer, systems analyst, and network systems specialist.

In 1989, I gave up working with computers to enroll at the University of Texas School of Law. There, I served as editor of the American Journal of Criminal Law and appeared in court representing criminal defendants as a student attorney in the Criminal Defense Clinic.

I also represented Texas in the national criminal mock trial competition at the University of Chicago School of Law. These experiences confirmed my decision to represent those accused of crimes, which I have done since graduation in 1992.

AMAZING!!!
I'm 35 years old...and I've never even heard of a lawyer answering and assisting a person at 10:30 at night right on point....without any $$ being paid. Seriously...have you seen this...I definitely haven't. Mr. Butler will be my lawyer at the drop of a hat...highly recommended don't waste your time with anyone else I've done my research and he is the best in the Austin area...Period...Mike
