Biography

At The Weaver Law Firm, I serve as the Principal Attorney, a role I approach with dedication and a deep understanding of the law. I hold dual Board Certifications in Residential and Commercial Real Estate Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction that reflects my commitment to this field. I take pride in helping individuals and businesses navigate a wide range of real estate matters, whether they involve complex transactions or significant disputes. My goal has always been to provide the quality of service typically associated with large firms while maintaining a more accessible approach for my clients.

Throughout my career, I have been honored with some of the legal profession’s most prestigious recognitions. I have been named a Super Lawyer by both Thomson Reuters and Texas Monthly, an accolade given to no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys in Texas. Additionally, I have been included on Thomson Reuters’ Annual Top Attorneys list and recognized by Houstonia Magazine as one of Houston’s Top Lawyers. My qualifications and professional background have also earned me a perfect 10.0 rating from Avvo.

The legal community has further acknowledged my work. I have received the Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating, the highest peer-reviewed honor for legal knowledge, ethical standards, and communication skills. Judges have also recognized my abilities and ethics by awarding me the Judicial Edition of the AV Preeminent Attorney Award. The State Bar of Texas has commended me for exceeding its aspirational goals for public service, and I am a proud member of the Society of Legal Scholars through the Texas Bar College of the State Bar of Texas.
