I am the son of refugees who fled Uganda in the 70s. Along with my older sister and brother, I was born in Ontario, Canada before my family immigrated to Georgia when I was a child. I grew up in Marietta, GA and earned my undergraduate, masters, and J.D. degrees in Atlanta. I worked for a few years in Toronto before coming back to Atlanta.
I am an avid traveler and have been fortunate enough to travel to almost 40 countries so far. I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and getting to know my clients on a personal level. My office is in downtown Decatur, which is 10 minutes from downtown Atlanta. I would be happy to discuss your case. Please let me know how I can be of service and I look forward to speaking with you.
