PRO
I have been representing injured people for over 30 years. Whether you were injured in an automobile collision, truck wreck, motorcycle accident, hit by a drunk driver or by some other cause, I understand that my job is to help you recover the compensation you deserve and need to put your life back together. I have litigated hundreds of personal injury cases to a successful conclusion and recovered millions of dollars for deserving clients.
In addition to litigating complex injury cases, I understand the importance of giving back to the legal profession and have served on the State Bar of Georgia Board of Governors (2007- 2023), the State Bar of Georgia Executive Committee, and I have been a member of the State Bar Disciplinary Review Panel along with numerous other legal boards and committees.
