Biography
Cameron advocates for his clients in state, federal, bankruptcy and appellate courts on issues ranging from CERCLA liability to state regulatory authority to commercial litigation. Whether it is a taxing authority improperly claiming a million dollars or an adverse party who commits multi-million dollar frauds, Cameron relentlessly pursues every avenue to obtain relief for his clients.
While in law school, Cameron worked as a Judicial Intern for the Honorable Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod of the 5th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals and the Honorable Judge Marvin Isgur of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Cameron also completed a study-abroad in New Zealand and Australia, where he observed practices under the commonwealth legal system.
Before pursuing his legal career, Cameron served high school students in Houston’s Second and Third Wards as a high school teacher and debate coach with Teach for America and the Houston Independent School District. A two-time national debate champion himself, Cameron led his students to both regional and Texas UIL Debate Championships. Now, he is excited to apply his passion for oral advocacy and experience working with communities across Houston in pursuit of his client’s goals.
