I graduated from Texas Tech in the summer of 1969, sold all of my possessions and hitchhiked through Europe. I returned to Lubbock in May, 1970 and made a late application to Texas Tech Law School. I was not accepted and found myself in need of a real job. After a brief, but eventful stint in the oil patch, I started teaching mathematics at Lubbock Cooper ISD. I continued my education and ultimately obtained a Master’s Degree in Administration. The superintendent, Harold Carpenter, had attended Baylor Law School and knew of my interest in attending law school. He encouraged me to apply again and I was admitted to Texas Tech Law School in August, 1980.
Like many idealists, I had been interested in the practice of law after watching “To Kill a Mockingbird” and admiring the work of Atticus Finch. I joined Johnny Splawn and John Simpson in April, 1985 and am looking forward to my 26th anniversary with the firm. My initial employment involved worker’s compensation and personal injury lawsuits. I have enjoyed the representation of individuals throughout my career. The practice of law has changed for John and me, but we continue to represent individuals and small businesses.
We have consistently maintained our interest in representing the individuals that we have served for the past decades. We will always be responsive to your calls and your needs and be available to our clients on all occasions. We will continue to provide zealous representation and will strive everyday to meet your expectations.
