About Me

This Isn't Just Law, It's My Calling.

When someone’s world falls apart and fear takes over, I step in as a source of clarity and strength. I’m a board-certified criminal defense attorney, and I’ve built my career fighting for people when everything is on the line. Whether I’m defending someone society has given up on, navigating a public crisis, or negotiating outcomes that can change a life, I thrive under pressure and I never back down.

I’ve handled over 200 jury trials and represented more than 4,000 clients, from low-level charges to life-altering cases. I’m proud to be the only criminal defense lawyer in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex named to both the Texas Top 100 and DFW Top 100 Super Lawyers alongside the best in corporate litigation, personal injury, and more.

Outside the courtroom, I share what I’ve learned through speaking on crisis leadership, advocacy for tough causes, and negotiating when the odds aren’t in your favor. My approach is real, practical, and grounded in the same grit I bring to every case.

You might’ve seen me on ABC, Fox News, or your local CBS or NBC affiliate, breaking down legal issues in a way that actually makes sense. I’m also the Dean of the Trial Academy at the Collin County Bar Association and an editor for The Voice for the Defense, a statewide criminal defense publication.

I graduated from SMU Law, but everything I know about justice, courage, and humanity, I’ve learned from the people I represent. This work is deeply personal to me and I’m just getting started.
