I am, again, honored to be continually named by my peers and colleagues in Texas Super Lawyers. I am humbled to have been so named every year since 2009. I have devoted my practice to helping people and families. I am Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction held by less than 3% of Texas attorneys. When I meet with my clients, I am learning their story and envisioning jury selection and opening statement. We have been fortunate enough to enjoy success for our clients in settlements and trial, and that comes from knowing our clients, preparing thoroughly, and making sure our clients and their families are clearly heard. Every client has a powerful story, we strive to find that story and give our clients a voice. Our aggressive and thorough approach helps us maximize recoveries and justice for our clients and their families. I am truly humbled that my work has been recognized by my peers, colleagues and court officials in Texas Super Lawyers.
