Biography
Graduated from Western Michigan University with a bachelor's of business administration in 2002 and from Valparaiso University School of Law in 2005. I clerked for Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Richard Winegarden after graduation and I was an associate at Webb, Tanner, Powell, Mertz & Wilson, LLP, in Lawrenceville before starting my own practice. I specialize in criminal defense, traffic violations and DUI law, estate planning, juvenile law, domestic law, business incorporation, personal injury law and intellectual property law.

Unorganized and Unprofessional
I hired Angela Kinley several years ago as my divorce attorney. She missed multiple court dates, was completely unprepared the times when she actually showed up, and was totally unwilling to cooperate with my ex-wife and her attorney, despite my desire for a relatively agreeable divorce. Her attire w...
