Eager to delve deeper into the law, Steve pursued a legal education at the University of Texas in Austin, graduating with honors in 2018. During his academic tenure, he actively participated in mock trial and moot court competitions, earning recognition in the prestigious Thad Hutcheson moot court competition.
Post-law school, Steve’s professional journey led him to Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, where he focused on representing Fortune 500 Companies in complex litigation lawsuits. This experience equipped him with a unique perspective on navigating intricate legal matters with precision and dedication.
To further enhance his legal expertise, Steve transitioned to the Collin County District Attorney’s office, representing the State of Texas in thousands of felony and misdemeanor cases. With numerous trials under his belt, ranging from petty theft to aggravated robbery, he gained invaluable insights into the prosecution’s strategies and tactics.
