Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients recover millions in compensation. My dedication to the field of personal injury law has earned me recognition as one of Texas’s Rising Stars by Super Lawyers for several consecutive years, a distinction awarded to the top 2.5% of lawyers in the state. Served as the 81st President of the National Bar Association, the oldest and largest association of Black lawyers and judges in the United States.

During my time there, I served as President of the Student Bar Association, contributed to the Thurgood Marshall School of Law Review, and was inducted into The Order of the Barristers. Before attending law school, I earned both my Bachelor of Science and Master of Business Administration degrees from Midwestern State University, where I graduated in the top 10% of my class.
