I have practiced criminal defense law since 2001. I am a board certified specialist in state and federal criminal law (by the NC State Bar Board of Legal Specialization). I represent clients in all types of criminal matters around the state. I have tried over 60 jury trials in 10 NC counties and the NC federal district courts. I also represent clients on appeal in the NC appellate courts and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I love practicing law, and I'm always prepared to take on new cases.

Murder Charges
