I’ve lived and raised my family in Kaufman County since 2000 and have practiced in our county and the County Court at Law this entire time. I have a firm grasp of this court’s areas of law, practicing both criminal and family law.

I also have a firm grasp of future challenges for this court and county as we grow.
