Following the events of September 11, 2001, I put my legal career on hold to become a full-time firefighter/EMT in suburban Louisville.  I found my time as a firefighter/EMT to be very rewarding.  However, after two-and-a-half years as a first responder, I moved to Dallas in 2004 to resume my legal career.  I became licensed to practice law in Texas in 2006, and since that time I have devoted my practice,almost exclusively, to defending the rights of individuals.Whether protecting my client’s freedom in criminal court, advocating for immigrant rights before an immigration judge, or fighting insurance companies to win just compensation for victims of personal injury or automobile accident, I have always enjoyed knowing that real effort in the court room can make a real difference in the lives of my clients.

In addition to practicing law, I enjoy weightlifting, tennis, reading and Olympic recurve archery.
