As an operations manager and attorney, I am passionate about developing core policies and procedures that help organizations run smoothly and efficiently. With expertise in both law and business, I am able to provide valuable insights and strategic guidance to help my clients achieve their goals. At G.J. Chavez & Associates, I oversee the more general business aspect of the firm outside of practicing law, including managing daily operations, developing policies and procedures, and implementing strategic initiatives. My unique background and experience enable me to provide comprehensive solutions that meet both legal and operational needs.

The Institute began the “Juvenile Justice Project” (JJP) in November of 2009, through a grant from the Texas Bar Foundation, to address the rising number of student ticket cases faced by students accused of school misconduct. The project’s original purpose was to provide direct legal representation to students in sealing or expunging criminal records, school disciplinary meetings or special education proceedings and Class C Misdemeanor cases, including truancy, pending in Justice and Municipal Courts in Texas. These cases generally involve in-school behaviors that have been criminalized rather than handled by schools as student code of conduct violations.
