About Mark
Biography
I'm a criminal defense attorney based in Plano, Texas, and I've been defending clients in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties since 2013. When you hire me, I personally handle your case — no associates, no handoffs. You'll always know who is working on your case and what's happening with it.
I handle the full range of criminal offenses, from misdemeanors to first-degree felonies, including assault, domestic violence, DWI, drug possession, theft, robbery, burglary, probation violations, expunctions, and more. I offer flat fee pricing so there are no billing surprises, and I'll give you an honest assessment of your case from day one — even when it's not what you want to hear.
I'm a native Texan, raised in Plano since 1993, and a graduate of Texas Wesleyan University School of Law. Before opening my own practice, I completed two internships with the Collin County District Attorney's Office. Call for a free consultation.
