On a day-to-day basis, I love helping people.  Each and every day I achieve a result that changes someone’s life for the better.  That feeling is addicting.  From a professional prospective, my favorite thing about being an attorney is trial – there is no better feeling than an intense cross examination or a winning closing argument. 

The most frustrating part about my job is dealing with prosecutors who refuse to see a case from my perspective – refuse to believe in second chances or want to punish my client for an, oftentimes, singular mistake.  I have found that persistence and relentlessness often carries the day on these cases. 

Yes. I yelled at the Judge and thought I was going to be held in contempt.  I always do what’s best for my clients and if I believe a Judge is incorrect, I feel it is my duty to voice that opinion.  Sometimes louder than others.

I must admit – I have a bit of a suit problem.  I don’t know that I will ever have enough suits.  Check them out at www.indochino.com. Please don’t copy me – there are plenty of styles. 

Most people think this is ETREMELY weird but, I hate chocolate.  If you’re thinking “you should try this kind”, I have and I don’t like it. Haha.  Think of it this way – more chocolate for you!

It depends – EVERY case has its own challenges and issues.  However, my job is done when the client is ecstatic with the outcome. 

I graduated from the business school at Texas A&M. I thought I was going to be a corporate attorney. Turns out, they are never in trial. The courtroom was my calling and once I figured that out, I’ve never looked back.

Assuming it’s a sunny island – keg of beer, snorkel, and a box of Macanudo Maduro Vintage 1997 cigars.

Schedule a meeting and let’s talk about it. Every case has its own fee.  My fees are structured to directly correlate with the amount of time I work on a case. 

The Office.  I love awkward moments and The Office is chalked full of them. 

Wife and I wake up at 4:30 am where we hit the gym until 6. Coffee and news until 7.  Take my kids to daycare and then work for the day.  Most mornings I am in court, negotiating with prosecutors and talking with Judges.  I’m in the office most afternoons where I spend time meeting with clients and preparing a defense in their case.  Dinner.  Rest.  Repeat.

I’m an early riser so I fall asleep pretty quickly at night. However, the eve of trial is always a long night of tossing and turning.

G-Money.  Admittedly, I tried to get some other nicknames to stick – Diesel, Bear, McGreggor – but G-Money was given to me by a Client and it stuck ever since. 

Excuses. There’s something to be said about honesty. I’m a criminal defense attorney – it is all privileged.

If you think you need one, get one.
