Criminal Defense, DUI and DWI & Domestic Violence
Biography
I have been practicing law for over 39 years, specializing in criminal law. I am board certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I am experienced in criminal prosecution and criminal defense. I have tried jury trials in state court and federal court, while handling both kinds of appeals as well. I am also licensed to practice in the US Court of Appeals and the US District Court of the Northern District of Texas.
I have an electrical engineering decree from the University of Texas in Austin, am a former NASA engineer in the manned spacecraft program, a former Captain in the United States Air Force, and former prosecutor in the Tarrant County DA's Office, having been a chief felony prosecutor in three different felony courts. I have defended criminal cases for over 30 years, with experience in death penalty litigation as well as the full spectrum of cases in criminal law, having over 1600 hours of continuing education in criminal and family law.
I am best known for the defense of the first DNA murder case in Texas which became a landmark case for the admissibility of DNA evidence.
As a candidate for District Attorney in 2014, I spoke at many Republican Party political events and have been cited by the Fort Worth Star Telegram as having a mature and practical approach to the leadership I would have brought as DA of Tarrant County.
While having extensive experience to deal with serious felony and misdemeanor cases, the client's feelings and goals have the priority as to how the case is handled. Maintaining a low profile so as not to unduly bring attention to the client's case is an important part of my practice.
The objective in the trial of a criminal case is to win by being aggressive.
