I am an attorney licensed to practice law in multiple State and Federal jurisdictions. I have had the honor to serve as the Collin County District Clerk for 6 years, during which time I have implemented an online E-Filing System, streamlined the Jury selection process, and implemented a NEMO-Q system that reduced average front counter wait times by over 50%. We are currently working on an online dispute resolution system which we hope to have online within 12 months.
