My name is Danielle Cortez-Harper, I was born in Dallas, Texas and I grew up in Rowlett, Texas. Growing up I played a multitude of sports including soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, cheer, tap, ballet and jazz. I graduated from Garland High School in 1993 and received an academic scholarship to The University of Texas at Austin. While at UT, I was a member of Mu Epsilon Theta sorority, Hispanic Business Students Associated, and played intramural soccer. I graduated with a Bachelor of Business Degree in Finance in 1997. I then attended the Dedmon School of Law at Southern Methodist University (SMU) and graduated in 2000. I got married to my husband the same year. We have been married for going on 24 years. We have two sons, ages 21 and 15. I have enjoyed watching my kids participate in all of their extracurricular activities such as football, baseball and basketball. We have two cats and a dog. I enjoy reading in my spare time and traveling. I have been licensed to practice law in the State of Texas for 23 years. When first graduating from law school, I wasn’t sure what type of law I wanted to pursue. I was lucky enough to get my first job with a solo practitioner named David Lopez. I gained valuable experience in the field of family law while working with him. He eventually became a Dallas County Family District Court Judge and continued to be a mentor. I enjoy working in the Family Law community. I have met so many amazing attorneys and colleagues throughout the years. I love engaging with my clients and helping people find reasonable solutions to their legal matter, no matter how big or small.
