Honored to be named to D Magazine’s Best Lawyers in Dallas list for 2025 in family law and appellate law.

Thirty-four years ago, I became a lawyer because I believed that strategy, advocacy, and integrity could change lives. That belief still drives me—now as an advocate, legal strategist, and advisor for leaders navigating complexity in their relationships and businesses.

To every client who has trusted me with their relationship and business problems—thank you. And to every lawyer out there in the arena doing the hard work behind the scenes, I see you. This one’s for us.

Not all superheroes wear capes—some carry briefcases.
Yesterday’s shoot captured more than just professional photos. It captured the essence of who we are: a team of super smart, super bold, super driven gladiators in the arena of law.

We show up with heart, grit, and strategy—ready to fight for the people who count on us. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.

OWLs are on a roll! 🦉 We just had the Supreme Court of Texas advance 2 more of our cases on their docket. SCOTX is a court of discretion — they take the cases they *want * to hear that they feel are important to the entire state’s body of law, not because they have to hear all of the cases that are filed or because cases just need fixin’. This makes 5 of our cases that have advanced to next stage recently plus one still pending from argument and one pending mandate. For family law cases — that’s a LOT! The Court hears a very small % of their total docket of family law cases! And our appellate team is proud to play such a vital role in shaping law that is important to the jurisprudence of our entire state (that’s the standard for getting a case heard by SCOTX)!
