Occupation
Attorney
I've devoted the majority of my legal career to the practice of family law both through my firm, The Radler Law Firm and through my 501c3 non-profit S.O.S. Legal Aid.
Having litigated cases from start to completion in trial and on to appeal in some instances, I have gained a deep understanding and affection for the Texas Family Code and a respect for the importance of a strong judiciary that follows the law without bias.
It is imperative for the judiciary to maintain competence in the law and make rulings according to that law without the intrusion of personal bias.
These two things make it possible for litigants and their attorneys to have confidence in the process and predictability of results.
This is doubly important for attorneys who wish to advise their clients of the best legal strategy at the beginning of litigation, which leads to efficiency in litigation costs and promotes respect for Lawyers and the legal profession in the community.
I intend to bring these things to the 311th District Court.
