I am a young attorney and do not have the experience many of my peers do. What I do have is time to dedicate to your case, an open mind and good common sense. I also have fresh legal knowledge of our ever changing and technologically advanced world. I do work with lawyers that have the experience necessary and I am learning from them every day.
On a personal note, I grew up in the country, just outside of Tupelo, MS. I come from a lower-middle class family that scraped to get by. I worked on a pipeline crew through high school to buy my first car. I then left home to attend the US Naval Academy for 2 years. I came back home to MS, where I completed my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering and then my Law degree.
I remember what it's like to live poor and I know the value of a dollar. I've worked with my hands and back and know the feeling of getting that Friday check for only a few hundred bucks in turn for 60 hours of digging ditches.
I enjoy truly helping people solve their problems, not just taking their money and telling them "well I did all I could for you, sorry buddy." I try to solve problems, not just conventionally, but by thinking outside the box and looking at the situation from all perspectives.
