I am proud to have gotten positive results in the last month for three good people caught up in the criminal justice system.

--Two weeks ago, I won a not-guilty verdict in an assault with bodily injury jury trial. I was able to show my client acted in self-defense. The client is an inner city school teacher who is two classes away from a masters degree in education. He grew up in a broken home, never knew his father and paid his way through college by working at Wal-Mart.

--I won two felony non-disclosure orders for a client who has three other convictions. I was able to show the judge that the client had put his criminal trouble behind him--the client had picked up five offenses right out of high school but in the ten years since then, has become one of the top salesmen in the nation in his field. He was in jeopardy of losing his job because he could not get bonded with a felony probation; now he will be able to continue with his career.

--Finally, I am proud to have represented one of the founders of the non-disclosure movement in Texas in his bid to seal his felony record. I won a non-disclosure order for an offense he committed in high school (stealing a computer from his school with his friends). Because of him, Texans who put their offenses behind them and become productive members of society are able to seal their records and move forward with their lives. It will be nice to see him do the same.
