      I represent individuals who have been charged with any criminal offense in Harris, Galveston & surrounding counties. I work hard to resolve their cases in the best possible way for them and will fight hard to help them! My experience in the Dallas County D.A.'s Office as a prosecutor for 2 years has helped me become a more skilled, knowledgeable Defense Attorney for the last 8 years.
