Brian has over 20 years of experience in the field of criminal justice as a decorated police officer, a felony prosecutor, a magistrate judge, a special prosecutor for surrounding counties, and a skilled defense attorney.

Decorated Police Officer

Brian became a police officer at the age of 21 after graduating early with a degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Texas at San Antonio. During his tenure as a police officer, he was awarded commendations for the arrest of one of "America's Most Wanted," as well as the arrest of 67 white-collar criminals within three months. As a police officer, Brian saw first-hand the criminal justice process.

Experienced Prosecutor

After graduating from the top-tiered University of Iowa law school and a successful internship with the United State's Attorney's Office, Brian joined the ranks of the Bexar County District Attorney's Office. During his first two years, he managed thousands of domestic and family violence criminal matters and took many to a successful jury verdict. Brian was eventually promoted to Felony Family Violence Prosecutor and handled hundreds of family violence cases involving sexual assaults, indecency, aggravated offenses, and murder.

Dedicated Defense Attorney

Since leaving the DA's office, Brian has focused on achieving excellence as a dedicated defense attorney to all of his clients. Whether it be a simple misdemeanor or a high-profile felony, you will receive the best defense, honest advice, and a strategy that will help ensure the best outcome possible.
