As an attorney specializing in criminal law, family law, probate, and personal injury, I am passionate about advocating for my clients in their most challenging times. My journey into law began during my college years, when my father experienced a life-changing accident. The way his attorneys guided our family through that difficult process left a lasting impact on me and inspired me to pursue a career where I could make a difference.
I thrive on competition, whether in academics, sports, or in the courtroom and I believe that a strong support system is vital. That's why I surround myself with positive, community-driven individuals. Over the years, I have earned top AV ratings in recognition of my commitment to excellence in my legal practice.
My greatest fulfillment comes from helping my clients achieve satisfaction in their cases, navigating them through the complexities of the legal system with compassion and dedication. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Forever Thankful
John, Bridgett, and Shelbie will forever have my gratitude for everything they have done for me. My case was a complicated one, and they knew exactly how to handle each curve that was thrown at us.
