BOARD CERTIFIED IN CRIMINAL APPELLATE LAW.
I am board certified in criminal-appellate law, a rare credential shared by fewer than 200 attorneys out of over 60,000 in Texas. It's worth noting that most individuals with this certification are either state employees or judges.
My path in criminal appeals started at the First Court of Appeals in Houston. There, I worked under a justice, drafting preliminary versions of criminal opinions on a weekly basis.
Since my time at the Court, I have focused my practice on representing clients in criminal appeals across both state and federal courts. My experience spans handling cases at the Supreme Court of the United States during the petition stage, as well as participating in briefing and oral arguments in the Texas Supreme Court and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. I have also represented clients in every appellate court in Texas that handles criminal appeals.
Throughout my career, I have appeared in more than 150 criminal appeals, dealing with a wide range of cases from capital murder to sex offenses to driving while intoxicated.
