Experienced Texas legal counsel for your governmental and business matters in Texas

Comprehensive legal services for businesses and individuals, and providing local counsel to law firms.

With over 27 years of legal experience, I provide personalized legal services tailored to my clients’ unique needs.

From drafting and negotiating business contracts, to navigating state procurements, to reviewing state and local government investment fund contracts, to deciphering regulatory frameworks affecting a state issued professional license or permit, I am uniquely suited to help you or your business succeed. If you’re dealing with a state or local governmental entity in the State of Texas, I can put more than a quarter-century of experience counseling various State of Texas agencies and boards to work for you. If you’re an out-of-state firm representing a client doing business in or with the State of Texas, I can assist in ensuring you keep up-to-date with Texas’ unique and ever-changing legal landscape.
