We are proud of our reputation for excellence, which we have earned one client at a time. Our attorneys are recognized by judges, opposing lawyers, insurance companies, and — most importantly — satisfied clients for our willingness to fight aggressively for a positive outcome. The proof of our commitment is our record of litigating more workers’ compensation claims through the hearings and appeals process than any other Asheville law firm over the past 15 years.* See the results our lawyers have obtained for people like you.

I was born and raised and have lived most of my life in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. I also chose to raise my family here. I studied history and religion at Duke (BA 1975), history and education at Vanderbilt (MAT 1979), law at Tulane (JD 1985), and management information systems at UNCG (2009). I practiced law in New Orleans and Boulder before moving my practice to Asheville in 1993. I continue to learn something new every day.
