I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Philosophy. After attending Texas A&M University, I attended law school at St. Mary's University in San Antonio. I am currently enrolled at the University of Texas-Pan American where I am working on a Master Degree in Literature.

I graduated in 2004 with a Juris Doctorate degree and with a Certificate of Concentration in Criminal Law. I wrote my Criminal Law dissertation on conspiracy law. I wrote my law school graduate dissertation about the historical and case law development of undercover police work. While at St. Mary's Law School I was a member of the St. Mary's Criminal Justice Clinic, defending indigent clients.

I have been in private practice since 2004. I am licensed in both State and Federal Court. Newspaper readers voted me their Favorite Lawyer in The Monitor Newspaper's Reader's Choice Award in 2009. I am member of the College of the State Bar of Texas which is an honorary society of lawyers who are among the best trained attorneys in Texas.
