A native Houstonian, Justin was born and raised in Houston, before his family relocated to Magnolia, Texas in 1997. In 2000, Justin relocated to Central Texas to begin college at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.
Justin began working in the legal field as a project assistant for one of the top law firms in the country in 2000. Over the next decade, Justin worked on thousands of cases. Throughout college and law school, he worked for various law firms in both Austin and Houston, focusing on different areas of the law. After his graduation from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, Justin took several years to gain legal experience before he embarked on his lifelong dream of attending law school. He enrolled at South Texas College of Law in 2008 and fulfilled his dream in 2011 when he graduated and successfully passed the Texas bar exam, gaining admittance to the State Bar of Texas.
During law school, Justin clerked for several prominent Houston criminal defense attorneys, working in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Galveston, Brazoria, Grimes, Jefferson, Liberty, Hays and Travis Counties. At each he gained invaluable experience and was mentored by trial and appellate attorneys as well as former prosecutors. Upon graduation from law school, he worked as a law clerk for a Houston based firm before being hired as associate attorney for another firm.
Justin takes pride in his work ethic, attention to detail, professionalism and working very hard to fight for his clients in each and every case. He has worked closely on hundreds of criminal cases and participated in over a dozen criminal trials.
In addition to his love of the law, Justin greatly enjoys playing the guitar, attending live music events, traveling and spending time with his family, friends and his dog, Scout.
