Practice Areas

Experience and Confidence

When you have a legal problem, you deserve an attorney who knows the law and will devote the time and effort your case needs. I have 18 years of experience in helping clients with a wide variety of issues. Contact me at my offices in Hillsboro or Dallas, Texas, for help with your legal concern.

I have a particular focus on divorce and other areas of family law, but also practice in a number of other fields and have been doing so throughout my legal career. Among the areas where I can help you are:

• Divorce: I will help you understand the legal process for divorce and advocate for you in negotiations or in court on issues like property division, child custody and visitation, child support and spousal maintenance.
• Child custody and child support: Whether you need assistance in the initial determination of child custody and child support or modification of final orders, I can help.
• Children's issues: I work to protect children's rights to be free from abuse as well as the rights of parents falsely accused of abuse. I can also help you legally establish the paternity of a child.
• Domestic Partnership: Whether you're looking to adopt a child, contractually cement your domestic partnership, draft a prenuptial agreement or protect yourself from domestic violence, I provide a range of family law services.
• Adoption: I provide adoption services to all persons seeking to provide a home for a child.
• Personal injury: If you've been injured and there is a chance that someone else may be legally at fault, protect your rights by consulting an attorney right away.
• Criminal defense: If you've been charged with a crime or are being investigated, you need a lawyer on your side immediately to build a defense and ensure that your rights are respected.
• Real estate: Buying or selling property can be a stressful process. I will help you relieve that stress by guiding you through the necessary procedures, including the drafting of a deed.
• Wills and probate: Whether you need to plan for the distribution of your own estate or have been appointed to administer the estate of a loved one who has died, I can offer you quality legal advice and assistance.

When you need an attorney who will conscientiously pursue the resolution your important legal needs deserve, contact me . My hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Weekend appointments are available by special arrangement.
