I am trial lawyer who represents individuals accused of crimes and those injured by others. I grew up the son of a blue-collar lawyer, who instilled in me the values of compassion, hard-work, and zeal for the law. For over twenty-five years, my family has assisted those in need throughout the Middle Tennessee area including Lawrence County, Giles County, Maury County, and Marshall County.
From an early age, I aspired to be a trial lawyer. As such, my devotion has been to the law and my studies of it. I graduated with a 3.98 GPA from the University of North Alabama where I majored in Criminal Justice. After graduating from the University of North Alabama, I attended the Nashville School of Law and I graduated as salutatorian and was inducted into the Cooper's Inn Honor Society. While at the Nashville School of Law, I was awarded various scholarships including the Charles C. Gilbert Scholarship which recognizes the student with the highest grade point average in all of the school's criminal law classes.
During my legal studies, I clerked at various law firms throughout Middle Tennessee. While clerking, I worked on personal injury cases including auto accidents, premise liability, and catastrophic injuries. I learned first-hand how to battle insurance companies and corporate lawyers to maximize recoveries for the injured. I also learned the “ins and outs” of health insurance coverage and patient’s rights concerning the same. Towards the end of my studies at the Nashville School of Law, I clerked for G. Frank Lannom of Lannom & Williams, PLLC. While at Lannom and Williams, I helped defend individuals charged with crimes such as domestic assault and driving under the influence to complex cases like rape, vehicular homicide, and attempted murder. I worked hand and hand with Mr. Lannom to prepare a strategy for each and every case.
Upon my graduation from the Nashville School of Law, I passed the Tennessee Bar Exam and began practicing as an Associate Attorney for Mr. Lannom. As an associate, I handled numerous criminal cases, both felony and misdemeanor, throughout Tennessee. After two years of practicing with Mr. Lannom, my wife and I relocated my practice closer to home, where my office can be found on the Square of Pulaski, Tennessee. My practice is fully devoted to helping those accused of crimes and individuals injured due to the negligence of others. If I can be of assistance to you, please give me a call.
