I graduated from SWTSU, a.k.a. Texas State, and went to Law school at St. Mary's University in San Antonio. As a parent of one child and three German eating sheppards I have sunk my roots in the Texas Hill country. I pride myself on knowing Hays County's Law Enforcement, Prosecutors and Judiciary. Attorneys must advocate, not just lawyer!

A large percentage of my business comes from referrals from previous clients because they know the kind of value I deliver and the level of care I take in each case. After graduating cum laude from Loyola University in New Orleans, I returned home to Austin....
