Biography

I have over 30 years of experience in general civil litigation, domestic relations, personal injury and criminal law. I did my undergraduate work at Vanderbilt University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude.  I earned my Masters in Business Administration from Vanderbilt in 1985 and my law degree from Southern Methodist University in 1988.  I was a prosecutor in Houston Texas for over 4 years where I gained valuable trial experience.  I have served as both Plaintiff’s counsel and defense counsel in personal injury litigation, and on the criminal side I have both prosecuted and defended all manner of criminal cases. I am active in my community and in my church.
