Of Counsel

“Advocating sympathy fosters compassion, but advocating empathy encourages the willingness to help.”

Backstory

I was raised in Irving, Texas in a close-knit family. As an identical twin and one of five siblings, I grew up in a family embodying hard work and determination. My parents, both my mentors and inspiration, balanced demanding jobs with pursuing their dreams—my father working multiple jobs while attending law school, and my mother becoming a teacher and later a university professor.

What energizes me

Taking on difficult cases and discovering innovative theories.

The anticipation of new opportunities. Working with a team who is empathetic, kind, inclusive and respectful.

Clients who feel heard and fought for when no one else would.

My niece and nephews.

Making my parents and my family proud.
