I was born and raised in Somerset, Kentucky, but moved to Lexington to attend UK for undergad and Law school. During law school I interned for both the Lexington Public Defender's Office and the Jessamine County Attorney's office. I loved living in Lexington and opened up my own law office here. I mainly practice criminal defense, but also handle family law cases. I am licensed to practice law in the state of Kentucky and the Eastern District Federal Court in Kentucky.
