I was born in Dallas and graduated from Hillcrest High School.
I attended Texas A&M University in College Station where I played football, studied engineering and participated in the Corp of Cadets.
I graduated from A&M with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering in December of 1983 and received
my commission in the United States Army Reserve. Following the completion of the Field Artillery Officer Basic Course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma,
I returned to Dallas to attend the SMU School of Law, where I graduated in May of 1987.
In September 1987, I was hired by John Vance as an Assistant District Attorney.
I was licensed to practice law by the State of Texas on November 6, 1987.
I worked my way through the District Attorney's Office and was made a Chief Felony prosecutor and later Chief of the Commercial Auto Theft Task Force. While at the District Attorney's Office,
I prosecuted thousands of criminals, personally participating in 185 jury trials, including two capital murder cases.
After I left the District Attorney's Office,
I accepted a position with the law firm of Fletcher & Springer, L.L.P., which concentrates on insurance defense. On April 1, 1996,
I joined my father and started the law firm of Withers & Withers, P.C.
In addition to the private practice of law,
I was a JAG officer for the U.S. Army Reserve. I retired in 2008 at
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. I am a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff Officers' Course and the 44th Military Judge Course at the U.S. Army JAG School in Charlottesville, Virginia.
I currently handle cases in the area of Family Law
and Criminal Law with a concentration in the areas of Family Law.
I am Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and
am a member of the State Bar College. I am also a qualified Family
Law Mediator under CPRC section 154.052(a) and 154.052(b). I am a member of the Dallas Bar Association, the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.
