I am a criminal defense and family lawyer practicing in Dallas, Texas. I am a former public defender and Legal Aid lawyer. I used to blog anonymously under the name 'Anonymous PD' until political and workplace pressure forced me to stop. I also used to serve on the board of directors for the ACLU of Texas and served a term as the president of the Dallas chapter of the ACLU. I attended law school at Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law.
