I was born and raised on the south side of San Antonio. During my childhood, my father instilled many lessons in me, but one stood out above all: "Do for others who cannot do for themselves." This lesson is what started me on my path to becoming a Criminal Defense Attorney.
I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I earned an undergraduate degree in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. I was told that knowing how people think and act in a group is a stone's throw away from knowing how a jury will act in a trial.
After my undergraduate, I came back home to San Antonio to attend Saint Mary's University School of Law. At this point, my desire to practice Criminal Defense became solidified. I interned with both the Bexar County District Attorney's Office and a prominent Bexar County Criminal Defense firm. I wanted to see how both sides worked cases.
After graduating with my Doctorate of JurisPrudence and passing the State Bar Exam, I quickly began working on Criminal Defense cases. Since then, I have worked over 1,000 cases, varying from Murders and DWIs to Sexual Assaults and Drug Possessions.
In almost 10 years of practicing law, I have saved the lives of countless men and women, protecting them from the ever-widening cast net that is the criminal justice system. I do for others what they cannot do for themselves. I protect people.
