About R.
Biography
I believe the law profession chose me long before I chose it. As a young child I was often told I could argue with a wall. I now have been involved in the legal community for over 20 years. I began my career as a receptionist and worked my way through the industry as a secretary, paralegal, and administrative assistant while obtaining my education at Middle Tennessee State University. I spent 8 years of my legal career serving the Tennessee Judiciary as a Judicial Assistant to two circuit judges. My personal experiences and peer encouragement lead me to further my education by attending the Nashville School of Law all while I continued to work full time. Graduating in 2006, I began to seek the area of law that most suited my personality and conviction. I am committed to serving families in Tennessee as they navigate the temptuous waters of family law. I am committed to doing my best to represent my client's interests without compromising the values for which I hold dear. Honesty, integrity and thorough communication are not compromised in my approach to each case. It is my desire to educate and assist a client in making the best possible decision in their case. Therefore, i often not only attempt to offer my legal advice but the practical advice that will help them make an informed decision as they attempt to better their circumstances in life.
