Biography Practice Areas Highlights

"When representing my clients, they not only have me to rely upon but also access to every lawyer in our firm which means there is not an issue we can't solve."

Bio

Angela represents a wide range of construction industry participants, including prime contractors, design‑builders, EPCs, owners, subcontractors, and sureties, across commercial, industrial, civil, petrochemical, and other large‑scale project types. She regularly handles matters involving mechanic’s liens, payment bonds, contract disputes, collections, delay claims, and construction defects.

Alongside her litigation and negotiation practice, Angela frequently serves as project counsel, working closely with project teams from procurement through closeout. She assists clients with day‑to‑day project issues, risk assessments, and contract administration, helping them stay ahead of potential challenges and maintain steady progress in the field. Her transactional work includes drafting and negotiating traditional construction agreements as well as design‑build, EPC, and other alternative delivery contracts, with a focus on aligning contract terms with practical project realities and the client’s operational needs.

Having represented both plaintiffs and defendants in state court, federal court, and in arbitration proceedings, Angela brings to bear a wealth of knowledge in nearly all aspects of litigation and dispute resolution. She prides herself on utilizing the most efficient and cost-effective means for resolving complex disputes.

Angela earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Texas A&M University and her law degree from South Texas College of Law Houston, where she served as Student Bar Association President and graduated cum laude.
