Personal Introduction

I started my career at Legal Aid and then the Public Defender's Office in Dallas. Quickly I realized that I couldn't spend the time necessary to represent my clients the way I new they deserved. I started my practice focused on this principle: treating people right. I run a client-centered criminal defense practice. Knowing my clients are stressed and frightened facing serious criminal charges, I strive to get them the best possible results while also delivering the best possible client experience.

Personal Interests & Charitable Work

New Friends New Life is a wonderful organization that helps women who have been exploited and trafficked. I found NFNL completely by surprise when I reconnected with a former client I'd gotten probation and drug treatment ten years prior. It turned out she had been referred to NFNL by her probation officer and they'd changed her life completely. She's now on staff as the Economic Empowerment Director, closing the circle by helping other women get out of exploitation and get back on their feet. https://www.peoplenewspapers.com/2023/10/09/kerry-washington-inspires-crowd-at-new-friends-new-life-luncheon/
