I am a San Antonio Divorce attorney who specializes in divorce and family law matters. I understand how incredibly traumatic the divorce experience can be. Change is difficult. I strive to timely resolve your case in as prompt and efficient a manner as possible. I'll work persistently to insure that the delays of our opposition, intentional or not, do not stagnate your legal process.

If you need a high caliber attorney with a thorough understanding of the law, and you want a man of integrity, proud of his reputation and the respect of both judges and fellow attorneys, then I am eager to assist you.

I am confident of my professional capability, but I am not one who is pompous or aloof, like those who return calls "later in the week." In fact, I may be the most accessible Family Law attorney in San Antonio. My clients have my office number, my mobile number, and even my home phone number. When I'm not available, my calls are usually returned the same day.

I handle all types of divorces, from the simple uncontested to the most complex. I will aggressively represent your interests to obtain any and all relief. My practice is predominantly in the city of San Antonio, but I have flown to cases throughout the state, and I am often called to Kendall, Gillespie and other surrounding counties.

I can quickly and accurately assess a case and present you with informed options and clear insight upon which you can base an educated decision. Once you clearly understand your position, you'll be able to decide how to handle your case and you'll know what to expect.
