Since 2010, I have tried numerous criminal cases before juries all over East Texas and have met with great success; obtaining dozens of acquittals and a number of directed verdicts in criminal cases during that time. Major acquittals include three capital murder cases, two other murder cases, multiple intoxication manslaughter cases, and dozens of DWI's. I have argued cases in both state and federal courts and am licensed in Texas and admitted to practice before the Eastern, Western, and Southern Federal District Courts. Additionally, I have argued cases before the First, Ninth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Courts of Appeal in Texas as well as the Fifth Circuit Federal Court in New Orleans.
