An attorney you can trust

I represent people with a variety of legal needs, focusing on guardianships and limited scope civil issues.

Why these areas of law?

Because these types of cases involve issues I am passionate about, and I put my passion to work for you.

Guardianships involve caring for the physical and economical well being of the most vulnerable: people who cannot take care of themselves or handle making the hundreds of decisions required each day in modern life.

Forever parents, adult children of disabled parents, spouses, caregivers, loved ones. Each person seeking to become a guardian of a person they care about deserves to be treated with dignity and respect throughout the court process. Iā€™m here to listen and help you navigate the process from start to finish in Dallas County.

For limited scope civil matters, I can help you formulate your best arguments, talk to you about how to deal with the other party in your legal situation, and help you file your lawsuit in DFW. From coaching through full service legal representation, I am here to help you with your non-criminal legal needs.

NOTE: effective June 2024, I no longer take VA Disability Appeals.

Areas of Practice

Military Discharge Upgrades

Perhaps you made a mistake in the service. Or maybe you got on the wrong side of a supervisor, and it all went downhill from there. Or maybe you were targeted for who you were at a time when discrimination was not only legal, it was the law of the land.

The law allows for mistakes and injustices of the past to be administratively corrected for reasons of justice and equity. Let me help you make your best case for a discharge upgrade.


Guardianships

The guardianship process can be complex, but it is important to remember that the goal is to protect the incapacitated person and ensure that their needs are met. If you are considering seeking guardianship for an incapacitated elderly person or young adult, call me to discuss your options. Flat rates available for Uncontested Guardianships.
