As so many Texans say, "I wasn't born here, but I got here as fast as I could!" I consider myself a Longview-native, having lived here since the age of three. A 1996 Longview High School Graduate, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in political science with a minor in Bible from Abilene Christian University. I then received my Doctor of Jurisprudence from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2003 and was admitted to practice law in the state of Texas that same year.

I have practiced law in Longview since 2003, opening my own private family law practice in February 2005. In 2007, I completed training to serve as mediator in civil cases, family law cases, and cases involving Child Protective Services.

Children are my passion; therefore, I have built a family law practice that focuses on protecting children through the legal process. Whether you're seeking to establish paternity, going through a divorce, or back in court for custody and/or child support matters, I will do the best I can to help you achieve a result that you are pleased with and that is in the best interest of your children. Through the process, my loyalty is to you, my client, but I will challenge you to remember that your first loyalty is to your children.
