Attorney Information
Overview
As far back as I can remember, I knew that I wanted to represent everyday people and to give them a voice in court. My clients feel that they are being heard and know that their story will be told – whether they are accused of a crime or were injured because of someone else’s mistakes. Managing a law firm that achieves this every day is incredibly fulfilling.
I work with the same principles that I choose to live my personal life: I have found amazing friends and great colleagues in Houston and I aim for my clients to receive that same support when they choose me to represent them.
Outside of court and the office, you can usually find me on two wheels – on my way to dive into something interesting to read.

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.
