After finishing law and business school, I worked at Thompson & Knight, LLP, in their Real Estate and Banking Section, 1999 – 2006; and was elected partner in 2005. After leaving Thompson & Knight, I formed my own firm to provide general counsel and consulting services to Moody Simmons Partners, Ltd., a subdivision development company, Moody Rambin Property Company, a retail and industrial development company, and Parkside Capital Land Fund, a private equity fund investing in land in Texas. Currently, I am working to expand my client base and offer a wider range of both legal and consulting services.
