I graduated with highest honors from the University of Texas at Austin in 1976. I am a solo practitioner who has been practicing in the commercial real estate field since graduating in the top 10% of my class from Southern Methodist University School of Law in 1980. I have over ten years of big firm experience, having practiced law with Jenkens & Gilchrist from 1980-1985, and with Baker, Glast & Mills from 1985-1991. Since 1991, I have been nominally associated with several small firms, until February of 1995, when I began my solo practice, which focuses on commercial real estate and business.
