We have not found any cost information for this lawyer
I practice exclusively in the areas of state and federal criminal defense law In West Tennessee. I have experience in both the prosecution and the defense of criminal cases. Anytime someone needs my services, I understand what a traumatic experience it is to be charged in a criminal case. I want my client to understand what I am doing and I enjoy knowing that I have made a difference in the case.
I am a retired Major, Tennessee Army National Guard. I retired with twenty years service and served one year active duty when my unit was activated for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, exercising, and reading about Civil War history and visiting historic sites.
