About Kevin
Biography
My legal career has been devoted entirely to bankruptcy law, insolvency, and debt issues. What fuels me is to help struggling individuals and businesses either (1) obtain a fresh start, (2) reorganize to increase chances of success, or (3) gain knowledge on how to achieve better financial success.
I also have a passion helping those who can't afford legal advice, so I also contribute a large portion of my time to local legal aid organizations and clinics that help assist lower-income earners and retired veterans. In 2018, I was awarded the Pro Bono Attorney of the Year award for the over 30 clients I assisted through either direct representation or clinic advice that year.
Some of the clinics in which I've participated are the following: (For more information, see the following link: ?pg=UpcomingLegalClinicsforPublic)
- Pro Bono Debt Relief Legal Advice Clinic
- KBA Veterans Legal Clinic
- Knox County Super Saturday Bar
- Tennessee Faith and Justice Alliance Legal Advice Clinic
- Pro Bono Early Adopter Program
For any attorneys that view my page, I encourage each and every one of you to reach out to your local bar association and become as involved as your time allows. There are many deserving clients in your local area that lack representation, and your time could help change a life.

Satisfied customer
From the first interview/consultation, Kevin was very personable, kind, and compassionate about my circumstances. He was honest and explained what I was to expect from his firm. He and his firm worked hard for almost two years to get me to a positive outcome. I am now relieved of a huge debt and have...
