Biography
We are tough and practical regardless of the type of case that you bring to our office. In more than one consult, we find other attorneys or law firms offering services that the law simply doesn't allow, or that the client may not actually need. We pride ourselves on helping client's find practical, cost effective solutions. However, we are always ready to take a case to trial when needed. It is this balance of tough, but fair, that allows us to assert effective advocacy for all of our clients. We proudly serve clients in Kaufman County, Dallas County, Van Zandt County, Henderson County, Hunt County, and Rockwall County. We offer consultations in person or over the phone, thus minimizing your time off from work when you need assistance.
