Biography
As a Senior Attorney within the nationally ranked Bankruptcy, Insolvency & Creditors' Rights Practice Group of an elite, full service Texas law firm, I provide clients with solutions that draw on my experience in crisis management, corporate governance, and litigation. My expertise includes acting as former outside general counsel to an oil & gas company. Being fluent in Spanish and having lived and practiced abroad for a decade provides me with a unique skill set and perspective, both key in my handling of complex matters nationwide.
I've litigated numerous high stakes commercial litigation matters, winning trials and preliminary injunction hearings along the way. On the insolvency side, I’ve represented constituencies in distressed situations in an array of transactions, work-outs and litigation, including PROMESA, the largest restructuring in history.
Its an honor to be recognized by my clients and peers for excellence. I am endorsed by Primerus, a leading global network of law firms. I'm also ranked by Best Lawyers® and was a finalist for the American Bankruptcy Institute’s 2017 Top 40 Under 40. Additionally, in 2016, I was inducted into Caribbean Business’s Top 40 Under 40.
I'm proud to be a sought-after speaker, whether it be CLEs that I teach, webinars or panels. My work has been featured or quoted in legal journals of Harvard and UPenn, Carribbean Business, Primerus Paradigm, El Nuevo Dia, Finance Monthly, AIRA Journal, The Capitol Forum and Law360.
My experience also includes a stint with the New Orleans office of a large AV®-rated Gulf Coast regional firm, two federal judicial clerkships and leading the Bankruptcy & Restructuring Practice Group of a top Puerto Rico firm.
Pro-bono work and my community are my passions, having dedicated many hours to helping the survivors of Hurricanes Katrina and Maria. I've also championed causes that I hold dear, including the Special Olympics, cancer research and mentoring law students.
