You and Me This profile tells you about me – mostly about my credentials as a business trial lawyer.But guess what? I want to know about you. Yes, you. I have to understand you, your situation, and your goals before I can help you solve your problem. So, as you read about me, consider whether I sound like someone you can trust. Somebody who will do every honest and ethical thing to help you achieve the best outcome for you. An individual you'll enjoy working with. A profile tells you only so much about a lawyer. You probably wouldn't guess from what appears below, for example, that I grew up in Nacogdoches, Texas; that I sang in the All-Region Choir; that I played football in high school and college; or that my dad worked as a roughneck and my mom as a secretary. So, as you get to know a little about me, remember that I need to hear about – and from – you.
