He and other attorneys were awarded a contract beginning in 2011 to handle indigent juvenile cases for Montgomery County. That program later received the Gideon Award for Most Outstanding Indigent Defense Program in Texas for 2013. His background as a former prosecutor and Chief Juvenile Prosecutor gives him practical insight into charging decisions, courtroom strategy, and local criminal procedure.
