Clients come to me during dark or difficult moments in their lives, seeking guidance and clarity on what to expect from the legal process. My primary goal is to listen and understand their situation, while providing step-by-step navigation through the process. Honesty is my guiding principle, and I am transparent with my clients to ensure they are fully informed about their options. With 25 years of experience, I have learned that being upfront is the best approach when dealing with serious matters. I work to offer clients all available tactical options to achieve their best outcome, even in challenging situations. Additionally, I aim to provide a "bigger picture" perspective on their case and emotionally prepare them for closure, to support them in moving forward after their case concludes. I began my professional journey as an intern with the Juvenile Division of the Dallas County Public Defender's office. After that, I got hired by the Dallas County District Attorney's office where I worked for a decade and gained valuable knowledge related to the criminal justice system. Later on, I decided to establish my own firm to use my experience in advocating for my clients' rights and offering legal assistance to anyone who requires it in family law or criminal defense. I am dedicated to protecting my clients' rights and ensuring fairness in the justice system. I handle cases ranging from minor traffic violations to serious felonies, and I ensure my clients feel secure and confident in the importance of their case. My belief is that everyone deserves justice and fairness, regardless of their status.

The fact that one mistake, one bad day, or even a police officer’s mistake could completely ruin or change the trajectory of your entire life made me want to get into criminal law. I grew up in Dallas and attended SMU Dedman School of Law. I began my career fighting for people as a Public Defender in Dallas. I saw how unfairly the criminal justice system treats people, especially if they don’t have a good lawyer. I wanted to treat my clients how they deserved to be treated – by taking the time necessary to get to know who they are and what they need. I created my law firm to do just that. Understanding that people shouldn’t be judged on their worst day, I strive to help people through difficult times with compassion and integrity. Facing criminal charges is intimidating. Knowing this, I ensure my clients understand the process, their rights, and the possible outcomes for their case. I pride myself on getting to know my clients outside of their case files. When I represent you, you’ll have an ally to explain the process, your rights, your options, and how to best resolve the matter. We understand where you’re coming from, carefully walk you through each step of the criminal process, and directly answer your questions. We start every case with an initial one-hour consultation. Most lawyers only give a quick sales pitch in a 15-minute call. We don’t do that — we’ll discuss what happened and give you an idea of what to expect, including possible outcomes and strategies. We’ll also talk about pricing. Once we’re engaged, our team will get to work right away, giving you feedback along the way so you know that we’re on it. We’ll also familiarize you with our convenient online portal for existing clients and provide regular updates and clear lines of communication until we reach a satisfactory resolution.
