Biography
Travis graduated from The University of Houston’s C.T. Bauer College of Business with honors. While working for a Fortune-100 company, he completed a Masters at the prestigious Thunderbird School of Global Management. Travis would have stayed in the general workforce, had it not been for his exposure to injustice in the form of baseless lawsuits. It was this injustice that prompted Travis to eventually go on to study at South Texas College of Law.
Travis began his career as a volunteer attorney at South Texas College of Law legal aid clinics. Where he even sought a temporary bar card, as a law student, to help clients in need of legal representation. Travis ran the gamut of legal aid activities, from meeting with clients, to attending hearings.
After joining Lanza Law Firm, P.C., a highly recognized Civil Trial Law firm, Travis focused on trial work. He continues to specialize in Automobile & Trucking Accident Litigation and Business Litigation. He has handled lawsuits in Texas state courts.
