About Andrew

I moved to Houston right out of law school. I spent a decade practicing law at two of the largest law firms in the world (Norton Rose Fulbright and Mayer Brown) developing a reputation for pragmatic, efficient, and no-nonsense counsel. I started my own firm to bring big-firm expertise to a more personable, adaptable, and responsive practice.

When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, and dog. I am a semi-professional music producer and musician as well. You can check out my work on Spotify.
