About me:

In my 30+ years as a litigator, I have represented clients on both sides of legal battles in several thousands of cases, focusing on personal injury, premises liability, auto/trucking cases, and insurance coverage cases. My cases covered the gambit of personal injuries, from injuries stemming from "no visible property damage" to wrongful death. I developed a balanced and nuanced understanding of the contentions and realities confronted by claimants and defendants. Regardless of which side of the bar I represented, I have been trusted advocate for my clients, whether they are seeking restitution for personal injuries or those defending against those  claims.

​

My practice focused on achieving the best results for my clients by utilizing a dynamic and strategic approach tailored to each case, to ensure the most effective and economical legal solution.  Throughout my career, in hundreds of cases, I skillfully facilitated settlement through the process of mediation.

​​

I recently shifted my focus to full-time mediation, as I have always found mediation to be essential alternative to trial. As a seasoned attorney, I leverage my legal expertise to facilitate a high success rate of resolving conflicts, eliminating the expenses incurred taking cases to trial. My unique blend of pragmatism and practical experience positions me as a mediator who can adeptly guide parties through the intricacies of finding middle-ground agreements. I waste no time to facilitate meaningful dialogue, and foster resolutions that meet the needs of all parties involved.

​

After spending 7 years in the medical field as a respiratory therapist, I graduated from South Texas School of Law in 1995. I raised 2 wonderful sons, one now an Engineer with the City of Houston, and one applying for law school.  When not in mediation, you will likely find me at the dog park, in or near an ocean, refinishing furniture, or learning to create abstract paintings.
