As an entrepreneur, myself, with substantial work experience in a wide variety of fields, including property management, retail, outsourcing, commercial sales, technical support, consulting, and research, to name a few, I easily relate well to entrepreneurs, business owners, and business managers. I enjoy working with business decision-makers to create custom packages of legal services for their businesses.

As the National Center for Preventive Law Aspect of Practice Leader for Start-ups and Small Businesses, a major focus of my practice is on a preventive legal approach to business law. Whenever possible, Executive Legal Professionals strives to help businesses analyze, assess, and address legal risis before they become expensive legal problems.

I have won the TN Supreme Court's Attorney for Justice for multiple consecutive years, including 2015 and 2016. In law school, I earned the 2010 Economic Analysis of Law Scholar of Merit award. I am qualified both to conduct and to represent clients in mediations.

Brewery

Posted by

A phenomenal meeting, clearly spelled out what was right and wrong in simple and easy language in order for us to successfully host a function where craft beer would be available. Following this one meet, many minds were put at ease as we begin this endeavor which will ultimately lead to opening a brewery. Without having to be asked, and knowing we were just getting started, he brought Devon from Sproutling Marketing to briefly talk marketing without additional cost/ fees. Very knowledgeable and realistic and without a doubt worth every dime! We look forward to future business.
