Dallas County Lawyers

I became an attorney as a "second career," though it was always a first love and a goal for me. I practice strictly criminal defense because that is where my passion lies, focusing on all aspects of criminal law--trials, appeals, and habeas work. I have a strong faith that I am where I am because that is where I am supposed to be.

My goal is to help people benefit from the US immigration system to reunite with their families, invest legally in the US economy, to grow their businesses, to be protected from persecution in their home countries and to keep families together.
