I am a former Gwinnett County police officer, where I received invaluable experince and education on accident reconstruction and investigations. While continuing work as a officer I attended law school part time, where I graduated in the top ten.
Prior to my law school graduation I worked with the Gwinnett County District Attorney Office and Gwinnet County Superior Court under Judge Schrader. My experiences are unique and extensiive which serve me well in finding the best possible outcome for my clients.
