I guess it's only appropriate that I start this new blog on the day we honor a great American, Martin Luther King, Jr. His example and inspiration gave hope not just to an individual race but also to the world. Dr. King showed people everywhere that we can reach the top of the mountain and look over the other side if we only have faith. He implored all of us to let freedom ring all over our great country. When others only saw broken promises and thus had no hope, Dr. King saw a bright future. We owe it to each other to take this day to reflect on the good in this world and vow to be vessels of light, helping others whenever and wherever we can.
Dr. King had a dream for this country. We should carry that dream in our hearts each and every day and act accordingly. Dr. King's message was one of love, patience, and tolerance. In a very real sense, I live that dream every day in my practice of law. I am a Texas litigator with a soft and big heart and do my best to follow the Golden Rule. I also have a dream that is deeply rooted in the American Dream. My family and personal histories are not made up of silver spoons and silk pajamas. I hope that you will enjoy this new blog, be inspired to help others, and realize that lawyers can hold on to their ideals even years into their profession. I still believe that being a lawyer is a calling deserving of the highest ideals of professionalism, ethics, and compassion. I have a dream that my small contribution to this profession will encourage others to make their small contributions, so that all of our tiny ripples will create a tremendous wave of kindness, humility, and hope that will bring back respect and pride to our profession.
I thank Dr. King for his example and hope to see my dream come to pass.
