A Strong Defense Is Important to Your Case:
Individuals convicted of a crime, whether through their own admission of guilt or through the determination of a jury, are subject to fines, imprisonment, probation and community service, among other penalties in Texas. Defending your criminal case in the strongest possible way is critical to your freedom and your future.

The outcome of any criminal case depends upon the facts surrounding the crime charged, the strength of the evidence, the legal validity of law enforcement and courtroom procedure and the goals and strategy of the government and defense.  As an experienced Fort Worth Criminal Defense Law Attorney, I will navigate you through this complicated legal process.

I provide aggressive and knowledgeable representation to citizens accused of criminal offenses in Tarrant County and in surrounding counties. I have over 31 years of experience in the criminal justice system: first as a Fort Worth Police Sergeant, then as a Chief Prosecutor in the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, and finally as a criminal defense lawyer.

I have handled thousands of cases in the criminal courts and have tried over 100 jury trials, most of which were felonies. I am one of the few lawyers in Texas to try a stalking case before a jury. I am also Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and am Board Certified as a Criminal Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.
