Attorney Information
Overview
I received my bachelors degree from Baylor University and my law degree from Texas Tech Law School. I was licensed in 1993. I began as a criminal prosecutor, handling misdemeanor and felony cases, as well as CPS cases. I worked for about 7 years for the Department of Aging and Disability Services, enforcing long-term care facility regulations in the state of texas, as well as handling enforcement of licensing regulations for Administrators and nurse aides.
I was an attorney for Child Protective Services for about 7 years, representing the department in actions involving alleged child abuse and neglect. I am very familiar with CPS policy and procedures, as well as policies and procedures regarding the foster care system.
Since I have been with my husband's firm, I have continued to concentrate on the area of Family Law and Child Welfare Law. I represent clients for any type of family law matter, including divorce, child custody, child support, grandparent rights, foster parent interventions, and adoptions.
I am a busy mother of 3, so I understand the importance of doing what is best for your child and doing all you can to keep them safe.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
