I am an experienced litigator and advocate. My direct approach and prompt communication have earned me the trust of my clients and the respect of my peers. Though I am trained as a trial attorney, I attempt to keep my clients out of the courtroom if at all possible for their benefit, both financially and emotionally.
I am a goal-oriented attorney, and I firmly believe in client involvement and keeping my clients informed. One of the first requests I make of my clients is to set specific goals for their case. This way, I can work with my clients to achieve specific client objectives.
I am a 2002 graduate of the Baylor Law School. I graduated, cum laude, from Baylor University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education-English. I have many years of experience with storytelling and advocating my client’s side of any case.
I am a respected community leader and I enjoy serving on many committees and boards in my neighborhood and my church. As a parent, I actively lead and instruct in local Boy Scouts of America troops and I chair fundraising activities for local neighborhood schools.
