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.
