Biography

Our experienced attorneys are standing by to review your case at no cost to you. The parking lot at my high school was ridiculous. It was filled with fancy cars that my classmates’ parents gave to them before most had even gotten their first job. I, meanwhile, was not one of those kids.  I left school for work most days and used that money just to try and keep up. At that age, I couldn’t make sense of how different their lives seemed to be from mine. After all, I knew these kids. They were just like me, no better and no worse.The older I got, the more I noticed the effects of so-called “status” at my school, and I found the whole concept absurd. Teachers seemed to treat me differently, and the school even threatened to dismiss me from the National Honor Society, a program I had worked hard to get into, because of a situation completely unrelated to my academic standing. Time and time again, I was told “no” where I knew a richer student would have heard “yes.”My work allows me to give a voice to people that are often not heard and correct problems that no oneever wants to face. My approach to practicing law was shaped early on by a fundamental belief: every individual deserves a powerful, well-researched voice when facing overwhelming opposition. This driving force led me to excel in speech and debate, eventually taking me to the University of Texas for my undergraduate studies. I worked continuously throughout my undergraduate years and while earning my law degree at the University of Tulsa College of Law. My mindset throughout this rigorous journey was simple: “just keep going.”
