Dwayne is the firm’s managing partner. He regularly guides his clients through the most difficult time in their lives, whether that involves a divorce, the possibility of losing custody of their children, or other family-related issues. While he prepares each case for trial, he is mindful that not every dispute needs to be resolved in the courthouse.
Dwayne received his bachelor’s degree from The University of Texas, and he is a graduate of The University of Texas School of Law. He was a staff editor on The Review of Litigation and graduated as a member of the Order of Barristers. After law school, and while practicing with a large law firm in Austin, Dwayne served as an adjunct faculty member in the advocacy program at The University of Texas School of Law. He regularly is asked to write and make presentations to lawyers’ associations on family-law issues. He is a proud Eagle Scout.
Dwayne and his wife Mary have three young children. When not practicing law or spending time with his family, Dwayne supports his community by serving on the board of directors of CASA of Tarrant County and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.
