I'm an attorney who has been practicing law for over 25 years, committed to achieving justice for all of my clients.  As a fourth-generation Houstonian, I understand Houston, and am very familiar with its legal community.  I know the city, neighborhoods, and streets; more importantly, I know the people, and am proud to call the citizens that make up our community my friends and neighbors.  Although my education has taken me across the United States as well as overseas, I still maintain that Houston is the best place in the world.  Practicing law in this city has given me a sense of being "Houston proud." Practicing law in the Houston area for as long as I have comes with certain advantages: you have a better idea of what you can expect each time you go into court, you learn the habits of the judges and other attorneys, and you know when to hold them or to fold them.  You don't learn that in law school.
