I have been a Peace Officer, A prosecutor and now I'm a lawyer and a defense attorney.  I know what they do and how they do it. I can make your case from the very start.

I graduated from Texas Tech University School of Law in May, 2002, and was licensed to practice law in Texas that November, following the July, 2002, Texas Bar Exam. Prior to that, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Texas at Tyler and my first years of undergraduate work were spent at Austin College in Sherman, Texas, where I learned the true passion of humanity—recognizing we are all part of one great society.

I worked in the Travis County Attorney’s Office from August, 2002, until October, 2003, when I entered into private practice with a mid-size Austin civil litigation firm, where I enhanced my skills for legal research, writing, motion practice, and working with insurance companies from the defense perspective.

But, I always felt that my skill best resided within the criminal justice system. So, I took it upon myself to obtain a perspective that most criminal defense attorneys lack—the law enforcement officer’s point of view.

I was hired by the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office in October, 2005, and donned a uniform to patrol the County’s roadways as a certified Texas peace officer. Vested with the powers of the State to investigate crimes and arrest violators, I worked both day and night shifts, for over 2.5 years, and during those months, I obtained a knowledge and awareness that enables me to better serve you.

I will analyze your case not only as your defense attorney, who is working to minimize the impact of this trying time on your life, but also as a Texas peace officer—no different from the one who arrested you and charged you with a crime, and lastly, as a prosecutor—no different from those currently trying to convict you.   I treat every client's case like it is my own and will remain in close communication with you.  I understand that a lawyer's reputation is his most valuable asset.
