Just finished a 4 day jury trial. Client was charged as a gunman in an aggravated robbery caught on video. The jury showed great compassion in sentencing him to probation to give him a second chance. Kudos to the DAs for trying a clean, professional trial.

So excited! I received a text from a client this morning informing me that his case was dismissed, having successfully completed the requirements of Veterans Court in a record 9 months! Very happy for him because his hard work has paid off.

05/26/2016

Yes! Diligence pays off and another client gets his life back!!!!!

05/03/2016

A dismissal at 11:00 is just as satisfying as one at 9:00. Especially when your appointed client offers to buy you lunch afterward for fighting for him!

04/06/2016

Starting the work day with a dismissal by 9:15 a.m. is how I wish all mornings would start. Kudos to the ADA for seeing the case for what it was really worth and letting my client get his life back!

03/21/2016

Just scored a two word verdict on a pro-bono matter. Happy to help a disabled Vet!

03/14/2016

Woo hoo! Trial day dismisal on an aggravated assault case this morning. Great way to start the week!

03/03/2016

Got a client's DWI dismissed this week after she successfully completed the PTI Program. So happy that her hard work paid off so she can move on without a conviction on her record!

Helping out at the Expunction & Non-Disclosure Clinic!

02/17/2016

Thorough preparation plus a reasonable ADA to listen to the evidence equals two dismissals for an "on paper habitual." I'm happy my client got his life back today!

01/26/2016

Awesome result today. New law violation dismissed. Motion to adjudicate dismissed. Client's deferred extended another 7 months. Glad to be able to help put client back on track to success without a conviction.

11/17/2015

Great start to the week. Kudos to a fair ADA for dismissing my ag rob trial case today, avoiding some nasty speedy trial and writ issues.

10/12/2015

Trial setting today. Burg Hab. Dismissal. BOOM!

07/17/2015

Color me excited! The command that convened the Administrative Separation Board I defended two months ago decided to do me one better--disapproval of findings (an honorable discharge for misconduct) to allow the client to be medically retired! Hooah for common sense!

Retaliation Suit by Former HPD Lab Supervisors Will Finally Go Forward

David: 1, Goliath: 0.

Thanks to a ruling by the federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Monday, a lawsuit filed by two former Houston Police Department crime lab supervisors, which alleges Harris County prosecutors retaliated against them for testifying about serious flaws with the city's so-called Breath Alcohol Testing…

06/22/2015

BOOM! Got a day of trial dismissal this morning after my client was arraigned outside the presence of the jury. Now he can get on with his life without a DWI hindering his future!

06/19/2015

FINALLY got the dismissal I had been seeking for a well deserving client on her charge today. I couldn't be happier for her!

When Texas driver refuses to ID, police officer smashes window to remove him from the car

Can't we all just get along? Note to driver: fighting the tickets would have been a lot less expensive, time-consuming and involved less jail time had you fought them in court. Yep, attorney's fees included.

A YouTube video shows what happens when a motorist refuses to hand over his documents to a police officer in a Texas traffic stop.

MD Anderson pediatric doctor accused of possessing child pornography

Note: confession may be good for the soul, but not so good for your attorney's defense of you. When questioned by the police, demand to speak to your attorney!

A pediatric doctor at MD Anderson is facing federal charges, accused of possession of child pornography.

DA drops charges against Alfred Brown

This. Is. Big. You just don't see things like this happen very often. Sadly, many families have been affected negatively by this fiasco in pursuit of "justice."

Harris County Prosecutor Dan Rizzo shows how defendant shot police officer in his closing arguments in the capital murder trial of Alfred Dewayne Brown, the man accused of killing Houston police officer Charles Clark during the robbery of a southeast side check-cashing store in 2003.

06/05/2015

Got a very deserving Veteran into Montgomery County's Veterans Court today. If he keeps up his good work, he'll have a dismissal in a year and the chance to expunge the arrest from his record!

06/05/2015

Pre-trial intervention for a very deserving DWI client today. Looking forward to seeing her get this done in a year and being able to clear her record afterward!

06/05/2015

Saved a lawful permanent resident married to a US citizen from potentially devastating immigration consequences with a clever plea agreement and a sympathetic DA. Win-win for everyone!

06/04/2015

What a rush! Sat with Paul Kennedy today on an assault case today that ended in a quick, decisive Not Guilty for the client

06/04/2015

Had an Administrative Separation Board for an Army client today. He'll be leaving the Army with an HONORABLE discharge, despite the government's best efforts to take that from him. To my client: thank you for your service and I am honored to have been able to help you!

06/04/2015

Two word (NOT GUILTY!) verdict today. My wrongfully accused client got justice from a group of her peers today and left the courtroom a free woman, not to be saddled with a theft conviction!

06/04/2015

Yeah! I had a client's ALR hearing end with a dismissal today--no driver's license suspension for him!

06/04/2015

Got a nolle today! What a way to end the year!
