A letter to parents
Thank you for stopping by. I know you may be experiencing some level of anxiety or concern about your child’s future. Your child may be in some kind of trouble at school, or in a San Antonio area juvenile court, or perhaps both. Maybe you’ve tried talking to your child and the school administration, but still don’t feel like you have a clear grasp of what is going on. As a parent, you tend to fear the worst about how this event could affect your child’s future for years to come.
Please know that you’re not alone, and I genuinely look forward to helping you and your child through this difficult time—toward the best possible outcome.

Learn MoreHow Katy works
I operate in a ‘no judgment zone’ and will never judge or belittle a child. Rather, I seek to find the best in them and use this to help get them back on track. I may ask some tough questions, but that is with the one key purpose of serving your child and your family to the very best of my ability.
While the juvenile court system does have different goals and objectives, I must remind you that juvenile court is still court. It is held in a courthouse with judges, prosecutors, police officers, and probation officers. The experience of going through a security check point, waiting an indefinite amount of time before being called into the court room, and then standing before a judge can certainly be daunting.
Compassionate & caring service combined with
I too am a parent, and understand that our children are our most precious resource and that we would move whatever mountain that we needed to move to ensure that they have the best help possible. I am also an experienced criminal defense attorney with a focus on representing juveniles. I would be honored to speak to you about your child’s case. I have handled every type of criminal matter, from traffic tickets to homicide cases.
I find immense satisfaction in helping families navigate the juvenile justice system. It is my true passion. It is rewarding to work with a youth who is facing a legal situation and use the situation to get them back on track. I compare this to a speed bump on the road of life.
If a child, with the help and support of their loved ones, is able to work through a situation and learn from it, this can help the child turn things around, and get on the right path before it becomes too late or significantly harder.
Working together, we can accomplish anything.
I enjoy working with families and really getting to know the child. Sometimes it is a process of peeling away layer after layer, just like an onion, until we get to the root of the issue and what is causing the child to act out and commit delinquent acts.
Once we get there, we can set the child on a positive course, sometimes well before the court date. Maybe this means getting the child started in counseling or even changing schools. Maybe this means getting the child involved in a new after school activity or working with their family to create a curfew. Maybe it means setting up software on a computer to monitor a child’s computer use.
