Texas Criminal Defense Lawyer
Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
I know that deciding which attorney to hire to represent you when you are accused of a crime is one of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. When someone hires me, I appreciate that they have entrusted their case and their future to me. It is a responsibility that I take very seriously. I take pride in my work, so not only do I want the best result possible for you, but for me also.
I offer a free initial consultation to all clients. To schedule an appointment with an experienced Houston criminal lawyer, contact my office online, or call me at 713-227-2200.
