Protecting What Matters Most

Family law cases are some of the most personal, emotional, and stressful situations a person can face. When your family’s well-being is on the line, you need more than legal knowledge, you need someone who truly understands the stakes and will fight tirelessly to protect your rights. I know what it’s like to face uncertainty, fear, and the overwhelming weight of legal proceedings. My goal is to help parents navigate these challenges with clarity, confidence, and a strong advocate in their corner.

For over 25 years, I’ve represented parents in a wide range of family law matters, with a particular focus on cases involving the Texas Department of Protective Services (CPS) and the potential termination of parental rights. These cases can feel intimidating and isolating, but you do not have to face them alone. I’ve worked closely with parents in difficult circumstances and developed strategies that protect your parental rights while addressing the court’s concerns. Every case is unique, and I dedicate the time and attention needed to understand your story and your goals.

I operate a small, focused firm intentionally. This allows me to take on a limited number of clients so that each family receives my full attention. When you work with me, you are not just another case file, you are a person whose family, children, and future matter. I work closely with you to develop a strategy tailored to your situation, whether it’s negotiating with CPS or navigating court hearings. My approach is personal, hands-on, and compassionate, but always grounded in the law and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes.

Guiding Parents Through CPS Cases

Cases involving CPS can be confusing, intimidating, and emotionally draining. Parents often feel powerless when social workers, investigations, or court proceedings begin, and the threat of losing parental rights can feel overwhelming. I’ve spent years guiding parents through these situations, providing both legal expertise and emotional support. I focus on protecting your rights, advocating for your children, and ensuring that your voice is heard in every stage of the process.



My experience extends beyond the courtroom. I understand how CPS cases are investigated, the documentation and evidence they consider, and how to respond strategically to protect your family. I’ve represented parents in emergency hearings and ongoing investigations, and I know how to navigate the system effectively. My goal is always to help parents maintain or regain custody while ensuring that children’s best interests are protected.

Remote and Accessible Legal Support

I understand that families are busy, and traveling to a law office can be stressful, especially when your focus is on protecting your children. That’s why my firm operates primarily virtually, offering remote consultations and meetings throughout Houston, Harris County, and the surrounding areas. You can meet with me from the comfort of your home, on a schedule that works for you. Of course, I also meet in person when requested, ensuring flexibility and accessibility for every client.

My virtual approach doesn’t mean less attention or care. On the contrary, it allows me to focus on what matters most: you and your family. I take the time to explain the legal process in clear, understandable terms, answer all your questions, and develop a strategy tailored to your specific circumstances. You’ll always know where we are in your case and what steps are next.

Why Experience Matters

Family law cases, especially those involving CPS, require more than just legal knowledge, they demand experience, strategy, and a deep understanding of human dynamics. I bring over two decades of courtroom experience, having worked as a prosecutor and now as a small-firm attorney, to every case I handle. I’ve been recognized and respected in the courts for my advocacy, and I’ve also served as an adjunct professor at Thurgood Marshall School of Law, teaching the next generation of attorneys about ethics and practice. This combination of courtroom expertise, teaching experience, and personal commitment makes me uniquely equipped to handle sensitive family matters.

I know that parents want more than just legal representation; they want reassurance, guidance, and someone who will fight alongside them. That’s exactly what I provide. Every case I take on is treated with care, focus, and a dedication to achieving the best outcome possible.
