Experienced Georgia Attorney Handling Injury | Disability, Professional License, and University Disciplinary Matters

• Member | Georgia State Bar Association

Every client and every case matters. In the past year, I have represented individuals facing situations that had the potential to significantly affect their lives. No matter the issue, careful preparation, strategic advocacy, and early intervention helped protect clients’ rights and achieve outcomes that provided stability and peace of mind during extremely stressful circumstances.

I built my practice by focusing on complex, high-stakes matters where the outcome truly matters—serious personal injury, professional license defense, and disciplinary proceedings. I approach every case with careful preparation, strategic planning, and an understanding of the long-term consequences clients face, whether that means lifetime medical care, the loss of a professional license, or damage to a career and reputation. That approach has led to strong results and referrals from both clients and other professionals.

Clients should look for a lawyer who understands that legal problems often extend far beyond the courtroom. Whether someone is dealing with a catastrophic injury, a licensing board investigation, or an allegation of research misconduct, they need an attorney who has experience with regulatory and disciplinary systems, prepares cases thoroughly and strategically, communicates clearly and honestly, and understands how legal outcomes affect careers, finances, and families.

Local knowledge is critical. Understanding local courts, administrative agencies, licensing boards, and academic institutions allows me to navigate cases more effectively. In professional license defense and research misconduct matters, familiarity with how institutions conduct investigations and hearings is just as important as knowing courtroom procedures. That insight helps protect clients at every stage of the process.

In a free phone consultation, I can help you understand where you stand and what’s at risk. We discuss the basic facts of your situation and talk about your legal rights, obligations, and options.

To make the consultation productive, it generally helps to know: 1)What happened and when, 2)Whether there is an injury, investigation, complaint, or formal charge, and 3) Any deadlines, notices, or communications already received. Even if you’re unsure what information is important, I guide the conversation.

What sets me apart is my background as a scientific fraud investigator, which gives me a level of subject-matter insight that is uncommon among lawyers. I understand how allegations of misconduct are investigated, how evidence is gathered and evaluated, and where investigative processes often fall short. That experience allows me to effectively represent healthcare professionals facing licensing board complaints and researchers accused of Research Misconduct, while also strengthening my approach to complex injury and disability cases that rely heavily on medical and scientific evidence. I bring an analytical, evidence-driven perspective to every case, focused on protecting my clients’ licenses, careers, and futures.

The most rewarding part of my job is helping clients navigate moments that could permanently change their lives. Whether it’s securing lifelong care for an injured child, defending a healthcare professional’s license, or protecting a researcher’s career and reputation during a misconduct investigation, the impact of the work goes far beyond a single legal outcome.

Outside of my legal practice, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our children and grandchildren, and working on my small farm. Gardening and hands-on projects allow me to work with my hands and step away from the desk, which helps keep me grounded and balanced.

Yes. I am actively involved in my community. I coach both of my sons’ sports teams, am involved in my local church, and make a point of helping neighbors whenever I can. Staying connected to the community I serve is important to me and informs how I approach my work as a lawyer and advocate.
