My focus is on real estate law and commercial transactions. My real estate practice is devoted primarily to the acquisition, development, financing and disposition of all product types of commercial real estate. My work in the area of commercial transactions centers on the formation of commercial entities, including corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies; as well as the acquisition, financing and disposition of business enterprises, the preparation of various contracts and agreements, and the representation of my clients in their on-going business activities. I place high priority on communicating with clarity, striving to understand my clients' perspectives and providing a level of legal expertise that exceeds their expectations.

I am a native Houstonian, the charter president of the Kiwanis Houston Sunrise Club and a past lieutenant governor for the Kiwanis clubs in the greater Houston metropolitan area. My wife and I, along with our four children, attend Terrace United Methodist Church, where I have taught various classes for children, youth and adults, and served in numerous leadership positions.
