Our attorneys have over three and a half decades of established relationships with other attorneys, judges, prosecutors, probation officers and law enforcement, too.

He’s also served with the Harris County District Attorney’s office, and he’s a former municipal judge. He teaches professional ethics to lawyers throughout Texas and is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 2013. Board certification is granted to select attorneys who meet rigorous standards and continually commit to the highest quality of legal services to clients.
