I have a varied litigation background. I began my career as an attorney focused on business, construction and environmental cases through efforts as an attorney for the City of Houston; environmental and business cases in the private sector and property tax and election law cases through Harris County. I was general counsel to the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector and Voter Registrar for four years and administered Elections for Harris County for eight years, overseeing thousands of employees and providing access to the polls for over 2.7 million registered voters. Additionally, I was instrumental in the Exxon Valdez case and played a role in the Enron litigation. Currently, I am serving as General Counsel to Texas State Senator Paul Bettencourt in addition to other individuals and small businesses.
Recently, I was asked what was the most important case or issue of my career. The answer I gave was that every matter that was before me was an important issue to the parties involved, perhaps the most important issue of their lives. I am committed to treating every matter with importance, impartiality, and efficiency to provide the best opportunity for a fair outcome based on the principles of the laws of this great state and this nation.
