Work History

DeGuerin & Dickson

I have worked since 2019 alongside my mentor, the legendary criminal defense lawyer, Dick DeGuerin, with whom I have defended clients charged complex crimes, like capital murder, federal drug trafficking offenses, federal white collar crimes, sex assault, aggravated assault, injury to a child, driving while intoxicated, sexual assault, aggravated assault, the possession of child pornography, and the possession of a controlled substance. I assisted Mr. DeGuerin in the historic Texas Senate impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas

I was an Assistant U.S. Attorney, commonly referred to as a “federal prosecutor,” in the Houston Division where for five years I was entrusted with prosecuting the most serious felony cases on behalf of the United States, including terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, money laundering, export violations, firearms trafficking, immigration offenses, and many other offenses.

Private Sector Investigations Experience

I was Senior Investigations Counsel for Cameron International Corporation where I was responsible for investigating allegations of serious employee misconduct anywhere in the world. I later was Managing Director in Houston for the financial investigations, business intelligence, and forensic practices of KMPG LLP, the global accounting and advisory firm, and prior to that, I performed the same job with Control Risks, a United Kingdom-based business risk consulting, security, and investigations firm.

Harris County District Attorney’s Office

I was an Assistant District Attorney and rose to the level of chief prosecutor in the Misdemeanor Division after starting my legal career in the office where I prosecuted and tried a wide variety of cases, including DWI, aggravated assault, drug trafficking, theft, robbery, identity theft, possession of a controlled substance, and many others.
