I am a DWI trial attorney who focuses my practice on DWI defense. As a former Assistant District Attorney in Collin County, I have handled hundreds of DWI cases from the side of a prosecutor. I have also handled DWI 2nd's, Felony DWI's, Intoxication Assault, and even Intoxication Manslaughter cases. . . Very few attorneys can say that.

Because of my experience and my focus on DWI defense, I am often referred to as: The go to guy for DWI™

The knowledge I have gained is absolutely crucial in order to effectively present a defense for someone charged with DWI or an Intoxication offense.

I was recently named a Super Lawyers Rising Star by Super Lawyers magazine and awarded the prestigious "2012 Litigator of the Year Award" presented by the Collin County Bench Bar Foundation.

I recieved training in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, Intoxilyzer 5000, and Gas Chromatography from world famous Scientists at Axion Labratories in Chicago, IL. I graduated from the University of Florida with Honors, and graduated Cum Laude from the University of Florida School of Law. As an undergrad, I majored in Criminology. While in Law School, much of my focus was on criminal law.

As an attorney licensed to practice law in Texas, I have worked on hundreds of DWI & Intoxication cases.

I believe very strongly in keeping up with the latest defenses and science in DWI Law. Below are just some of the continuing education courses that I have taken in the field of DWI & Intoxication defense. I have taken many more classes, but these specific courses deal with issues that arise in DWI and Intoxication cases:
