About Kenneth
Biography
I simply want to do my best to help any person facing an accusation by the government, a traffic citation or the difficulties that are accompanied by injuries or loss of a loved one in an auto accident. We all face tribulations in our life which include almost always one time dealing with the court system.
My education includes UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University and Indiana University. I am home grown and try to instill proper values in my children that I desire to apply in my work. I have been married now for 18 great years. My wife and kids are my life. My work is something that I believe is kin to my family. I really do care about my clients and their cases. I hope for the opportunity to provide our office services to you or a family member.
