My practice focuses on estate planning and litigating complex trust, estate and guardianship disputes. With over 20 years of civil trial and appellate experience, I have represented clients in all stages of litigation from pre-trial, trial, mediation and appeals to the Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court. I have represented clients in over 70 appeals in both the Texas and Federal Courts of Appeal and am Board Certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. My experience as a litigator and appellate attorney permits to provide my clients with a high level of analysis in all facets of a dispute and find a path to victory. However, my true strength as an attorney arises from my client-centered approach. I understand and accept that my clients come to me with both legal and personal disputes which arise after the death or incapacity of a close family member. As your attorney, my job is to help my clients navigate these disputes and move on to a place in their lives where they can focus on what really matters - their families and loved ones.

I offer in-person consultations at no charge Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on family law matters. There is no charge for an in-office consultation unless you decide to retain the firm on a family law matter; if you do retain us, that consultation time is simply credited against your retainer. There is never an obligation, and you are welcome to come in, discuss your situation, and decide afterward. If you'd prefer to meet remotely or outside of regular hours, I also offer the following options: * Phone Consultation (30 minutes) – $100 – Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Paid before scheduling. * Evening Zoom Consultation – $350 – Monday through Thursday, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and also available on weekends. Paid before scheduling. This is ideal if you can't get away from work and would rather meet from home after hours. For clients with active or developing matters, I also offer longer strategy sessions. These are comprehensive working meetings to review case developments, evaluate your options, discuss litigation strategy, and prepare for upcoming hearings, mediation, trial, or settlement: * Second Visit / Weekend Strategy Session – $350 – Paid before scheduling or at the time of the visit. * Comprehensive Weekend Strategy Session – $350 – An in-depth session by appointment only, for case brainstorming, evidence review, and witness or case preparation. (For weekend sessions, prospective clients are responsible for meal expenses during the meeting.) The days and times are fixed: Friday, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.; Saturday or Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or 4 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at one of the following locations, all situated in the Westpark/Westheimer corridor of Houston, Texas: * Lava Lounge — 9705 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77042 | (281) 417-3606 (Fridays) * Patio by La Pasha — 5810 Beverly Hill St, Houston, TX 77057 | (281) 888-2955 (Saturday & Sunday) * Layal Cafe on Richmond — 6328 Richmond Ave, Houston, TX 77057 | (713) 360-7835 (Saturday & Sunday) * Sama Cafe — 13320 Westheimer Rd #400, Houston, TX 77077 | (713) 835-6584 (Sundays only) A NOTE ON FEES Many uncontested family law matters are handled on a fixed-fee basis — for example, an agreed divorce with no children starts at $999, and matters involving children start at $1,999. These fixed fees cover the filing fee, one certified copy, all attorney and paralegal time, copies, postage, and in-person notary services. Contested matters and those requiring service of an unwilling spouse are handled on a retainer basis, and I'm happy to review the specifics with you at your consultation so you have a clear picture before you commit to anything. OFFICES & SCHEDULING I have two offices in the greater Houston area, one at 715 E. Whitney, Houston, Texas 77022 and another at 6100 Corporate Drive, Suite 190, Houston, Texas 77036.
