From Crime Lab to Prosecutor to Criminal Defense Lawyer

Kara worked in the Dallas County crime lab right after graduating from college. Besides that, she also handled DNA testing and analysis. Furthermore, a part of her job included testifying as a Forensic Biology expert in court. Meanwhile, she noticed a knowledge gap in forensic science with the current crop of prosecutors.
Therefore, she wanted to help close that gap. So, after three years of working at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences, she went to law school to be a lifetime prosecutor. Though, Kara enjoyed her prosecutorial work, but she immediately fell in love with criminal defense work when she happened upon it. In fact, the best part of her days now is helping her clients turn the most challenging part of their lives around. Especially, when it comes to the younger people. Certainly, she mostly loves working with people who may have made bad choices. But, she doesn’t want those decisions to ruin the rest of their lives.

Focusing on Family & Community

Kara is dedicated to her job but loves taking time away to spend with her family. She and her husband, David, have three boys, and they all love to travel together. When Kara isn’t working or traveling, you’ll find her exercising, reading a good book, or partaking in her favorite sweets: cakes and cupcakes.

She also makes time to give back to her community. Currently, Kara is on the Metroport Teen Court Board, representing the City of Southlake where she also volunteers her time as a judge. Kara serves on the Crime Control Board. Kara offers free in-office or virtual consultations. Learn more by reaching out today.

Kara is Puerto Rican and is fluent in Spanish. As a child, she spent her summers with her grandparents in Puerto Rico. If you are a Spanish-speaking individual currently facing the challenges that the Federal & Texas criminal justice system can raise, call or text Kara. She’ll speak with them in the language they are most comfortable with, helping them understand their options in a way that puts them at ease.
