I am a criminal defense lawyer that has specialized in criminal defense  since I graduated law school, over 22 years. I have practiced criminal defense both in Houston, Texas and in the Chicago area, where my main focus is federal law.

I attended the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College in 2000 and have been returning as faculty since 2004.  I am  Board Certified  by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in the area of Criminal Law and Criminal Apellate law.

I have always have had a passion for defending people accused by the government and believe that a strong defense is a personalized defense based upon the needs of the individual representing.  I strive to combine my knowledge of the law and my understanding of my client to formulate a defense strategy that best serves each individual I represent. 

In addition to the law, I enjoy running marathons, cycling, triathalons and completed tough mudder event in Austin Texas.  I have recently started playing the piano again after 20 years.
