Overview

I am a seasoned civil litigation attorney with over 20 years of experience representing clients in complex legal matters across state and federal courts. My commitment to success and team leadership have been integral to ensuring strategic insight and relentless dedication in every case.

Specializing in construction law, I have a proven track record of delivering favorable outcomes for a diverse range of clients, including owners, general contractors, design professionals, subcontractors, and tradesmen.

My professional expertise has allowed me the opportunities to deliver numerous presentations on construction law, risk management, and professional liability, including topics such as venue favorability, Texas Certificate of Merit laws, and defense strategies for subcontractors.

Native to Texas, I have spent the most recent two decades in Dallas while my formative years were spent in West Texas. Away from the office I like to spend time with my loved ones and take part in activities such as golf, hiking, SCUBA diving, and snowboarding. My bucket list is to visit as many major sporting venues as possible, and I have already reached fifty and counting.
