About Stephen
Biography
I moved back to Nelson County in 2011 to practice law. I am married with a young daughter at home.
My goal as an attorney is to ensure my clients are better off once they hire me. I will only accept a client if I feel that I can be of value. Whether that value is monetary, as in helping a client qualify for medicaid to preserve their hard earned retirement savings, or non-monetary, such as helping a client receive more visitation with their child, value is always the end goal.
