I have done practically every kind of work a courtroom attorney can do in Texas. I have personally appeared in 48 Texas Counties, over 34 years of practice. In all of those areas, over all those years, Family Law is the area that touches me. It is the practice of law, combined with the reaching out to someone who is distraught, sad, or angry. It is helping people to understand that as difficult as things may seem, there is a better day coming. It is helping people understand how to make a very hard time for them, be less of a hard time for their children. It is the most challenging area of law that I have practiced. I hope that I make a difference in the lives of my clients and their families.
