Born and raised in San Antonio, I am a fifth-generation Texan with decades of legal experience. I truly enjoy sitting down with my clients, getting to know their unique goals, concerns, and wishes, and then using the law to create solutions that fit their lives. I find it rewarding to be in the unique position of making the estate planning process simple and guiding families through probate as efficiently as possible.

That courtroom experience helps me create stronger, more effective estate plans for my clients. In fact, after years in probate court, I often joke that it makes me even more passionate about helping people plan ahead—because the best probate is the one you can avoid.
