During this trial, and once passing the Texas Bar Exam, John was sworn into the practice of law by the Honorable David Alan Ezra, the sitting trial judge. John’s practice focuses on state and federal criminal litigation, state and federal grand jury practice, criminal appeals, asset forfeiture matters, and post-conviction writs of habeas corpus.
