I Represent the Citizen Accused
Unlike some firms that dabble in numerous areas of law, I focus solely in the practice of criminal law. As a capital murder first chair qualified criminal defense lawyer, I have defended clients in everything from DWI to capital murder. In addition, I defend individuals against the following charges:
- Arson
- Assault
- Conspiracy
- Domestic violence
- Drug offenses
- DWI/DUI
- Gun violations
- Homicide
- Sex offenses
- Theft
- White collar crimes
Prior to opening my own law firm, I was an assistant district attorney. I worked on the other side, prosecuting people for a range of misdemeanor and felony offenses. Thus, I have a thorough understanding of the law, and because I worked as a prosecutor, I know how the state prepares and prosecutes its cases.
Board Certified Criminal Defense Lawyer
I am Board Certified in Criminal Law by both the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and the National Board of Trial Advocacy — titles that come from experience, peer recommendations, and an extensive amount of continuing legal education. In addition, I am one of a small handful of attorneys qualified to represent people facing capital murder charges.
To schedule your free initial consultation with an experienced lawyer, contact me online or call 254-753-3738. I have evening and weekend hours available by appointment, and I will visit clients who are detained.
