- After practicing law for over 40 years, my practice revolved around helping my clients make estate planning decisions, the creation of guardianships and the probate of loved ones. In November of 2018, I was elected as the judge of Harris County Probate Court # 4 whereupon I took the bench on January 1, 2019. In 2020 life dealt all of us a sudden shock. We persevered.
- We don’t ever get the time back from such events. We just have the time forward. It is in that vein that I am running for re-election after this most tragic, challenging last two- and one-half years. I want to extend my best wishes to you and deepest condolences for any losses of loved ones throughout the course of the pandemic. The Court I am privileged over which to preside is a probate court. It, sadly, deals day in and day out with matters of life and death. Our Court has continued to work throughout this pandemic including working remotely when necessary. We have held thousands of hearings via Zoom. We have zoomed to court for our routine dockets and for our most complex evidentiary hearings alike. I made a vow that not one person—no one on the Court’s staff, no lawyer, no litigant, no witness or no juror—would have to risk contracting Covid-19 because of my inertia. And I am proud to have done my part to continue to mitigate the effects of this pandemic on the delivery of justice. Our Court also conducts in-person hearings especially jury trials while always practicing safety protocols for the protection of the lawyers, parties, witnesses, the jury and court staff including the utilization of hybrid video options when necessary. The pandemic has required our Court to become even more efficient than ever by using the most advanced technologies available, and our Court will continue to utilize these options well into the future.
