Tina is a passionate advocate who takes a responsive, straightforward, and client-focused approach to family law matters. She exudes confidence, sincerity, and zeal, reflecting her upbringing in a strong Italian family, and clients appreciate her efficient and effective representation. With an impressive range of experience and knowledge as a family law litigator, Tina's multidisciplinary background uniquely positions her to educate clients throughout the legal process and assist them in making informed decisions.
Tina's interest in family law and advocacy dates back to her studies at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, where she earned a Master of Science degree in education, specializing in educational policy and curriculum development. Tina's experience in the classroom working with children fueled her passion for being a voice for others, and she brings that same dedication to her legal advocacy.
At South Texas College of Law Houston, Tina focused her coursework on trial and advocacy, representing the school in numerous mock trial and moot court national competitions. She was part of the team that won a first-place National Championship title at the Peter J. Johnson National Civil Rights Trial Competition and received several advocacy awards during her time in law school.
Tina emphasizes respect and amicability in her cases, and her mediator's certificate from the Frank Evans Center for Dispute Resolution underscores her commitment to successful conflict resolution. She strives to assist families in fostering healthy co-parenting relationships, rather than adopting positions that could further alienate them.
