John also has appellate experience at both the state and federal levels, arguing cases before the U.S. Fifth Circuit and Texas’ intermediate courts of appeals in Houston and Austin, as well as filing petitions in the Texas Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. John clerked for current Texas Supreme Court Justice Brett Busby when Justice Busby was on the 14th Court of Appeals. A former resident of New Hampshire, he also clerked for that state’s Supreme Court Chief Justice Linda S. Dalianis before making the move to Texas. 

John believes effective representation begins with understanding a client’s goals and objectives. As his clients’ proxy inside the courtroom, he’s a zealous advocate for his clients’ interests. He understands the level of trust placed in him and works hard to identify and implement winning strategies that will achieve the best possible results.  

A Navy veteran, John served aboard the USS John C. Stennis from 2003 to 2008. He deployed twice and attained the rank of electrician’s mate, first class.
