My client was required to register as a sex offender because of an unfortunate misunderstanding in his youth. He has never been a dangerous person. Years later, he came to visit his relative in Georgia for a short weekend. The local sheriff had an encounter with him and decided he had violated the law by failing to register as a sex offender, even though he was just visiting. On the witness stand, I got the sheriff to admit that, even though she was the resident expert, she had not bothered to look at the actual law pertaining to my client's situation. I was able to get the felony dismissed and him released from custody.

I worked to give my clients a value-based service with personal attention, and grew it little by little as best I could. I looked for creative ways to achieve the client's goals and be innovative in my practice.

Clients should look for someone who is dedicated to a quality work product, to knowing the law, and who is dedicated to the truth coming out, no matter the consequence. Clients should look for an attorney who is willing to take the time to talk with them person-to-person and explain the scenario so the client has a full understanding of what is happening.

Knowledge of local success is crucial so people will know you are capable of achieving the result they want.

I can get a general synopsis of the case, and give a client a quick and generalized overview of where they are in the process, and what they can realistically expect as far as an outcome, in addition to an estimated fee.

Name, Address, Email, Phone, Brief but detailed explanation of the issue, and a reference to the means by which you intend to pay fees.

I am a lawyer who will return your phone call, text, or email personally. With other big law firms, you may never talk to a lawyer. With my firm, there is a relationship of trust and confidence and reliable advice at your fingertips at any given point.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is being able to provide for my family a decent living while doing something I enjoy - helping people solve their problems.

In addition to law, I am an avid fly fisherman and hobbyist. I also enjoy spending time with my family, and doing anything that keeps me outdoors. I enjoy music, and building furniture.

I am involved in my community. I am involved in a local church, and am heavily involved in a local theater arts group, which I support.
