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.
