Before Law School, I majored in Economics and successfully opened multiple businesses. Since passing the bar and getting licensed I have advised on and drafted operating agreements and bylaws for new LLCs.
I have worked in both local city governments and county governments doing both civil and criminal law. As a prosecutor on a limited license I successfully argued an undecided issue of case law which is now the binding case law in the area.
