Practice areas

I was born and raised in Mississippi and have spent all of my life here, with the exception of the 10 years I spent living and practicing in Jacksonville, Florida. Now I practice law in both Mississippi and Florida. I help people and busineses to resolve problems. Most of those problems can be resolved without resorting to lawsuits and trials, but when it becomes necessary to go into a courtroom, my 25+ years of courtroom experience serves my clients well.
