Legal Services & Lawyers

With over 32 years experience, we have seen a wide variety of legal issues. We are aware of the problems people encounter as they deal with family law issues. Since virtually every case will settle without going to a final trial, we focus on finding or creating solutions through negotiations. We strongly encourage the use of Collaborative Law in almost every case, but sometimes it is inappropriate or the other attorney is not a Collaborative attorney. Then, we are prepared to work through the litigation approach, to the extent necessary. As a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law since 1984, I have a great deal of experience in resolving cases through trials, mediations, negotiations and Collaborative Law.

I represent employees and select employers in all types of cases involving state and federal employment and wage laws. This includes claims of discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination, as well as those for claims of unpaid overtime. I am board certified in Labor & Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

In my practice we utilize technology to the fullest in order to maximize efficiency for our clients. Each client is assigned their own web extranet link into our firm, where they can see the day to day developments in their case and participate directly in case development activities. Technology allows me to stay in touch with my clients even though I am often out of the office to attend trials, hearings and depositions.

We also make regular use of focus groups and mock mini-trials on site to assist us in providing the very best representation to our clients.

It is vitally important to me that my clients know their important legal matter is getting the attention it truly deserves. For this reason, I am very selective during the case intake process and only take those cases for which I believe our firm is the very best fit. If we cannot represent you, however, we will do our best to help you find a lawyer who can.

My law practice is dedicated almost entirely to the area of workers' compensation. I represent injured workers and medical providers in the Texas workers' compensation system. I have handled and continue to pursue claims for both injured workers and medical providers through the administrative process and into the District Courts of Texas, if necessary. In order to exhaust administrative remedies and collect outstanding medical bills, I represent medical providers through the Medical Dispute Resolution process and before the State Office of Administrative Hearings.

I also represent people who have been injured as the result of someone else's negligence. These injuries are usually the result of accidents like car wrecks, 18-wheeler accidents, construction incidents, medical malpractice, and on the job injuries not covered by workers' compensation.
