I'm a tar heel native, so I'm a huge fan of college basketball. My hobbies include running, pilates and bikrim yoga.

I'm a native of the Atlanta metro area, and a “double dawg” with both undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Georgia. My first 8 years as a lawyer were spent doing defense work for the big insurance companies, an advantage that sets me apart from most personal injury attorneys.. I know how insurance companies work, so I can stay one step ahead of them. Many of the defense attorneys know me, and know I’m not afraid to take my cases to trial in front of a jury. I look forward to meeting you personally, and will use my litigation and insurance company experience to get you the best possible outcome.

I'm a client-focused personal injury trial lawyer who leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of a fair settlement or verdict for my clients. All clients have my personal cell phone so they can reach me 24/7.

I love what I do for a living - helping others in their greatest time of need. I like to ensure that those who have done wrong are held accountable for their actions.

I have enjoyed practicing law here in metro Atlanta for the past 30 years.  I handle matters for clients in metro Atlanta, and statewide.

I am passionate about my clients. I believe the “practice of law” has been lost in the modern law practice. Other firms practice “the business of law.” They see clients as the value of their case and how much money can be collected for a settlement in the least amount of time. The practice of law focuses on the best interests of the client and serving their needs for the best possible result. The practice of law also focuses on achieving justice, which is offering clients a voice in a complicated legal system.. Other firms who take any case offered them are practicing a business model that forces them to quickly settle cases without becoming experts in the cases they represent. This means that justice is sacrificed because other firms haven’t developed the expertise or desire needed to achieve the highest value of the case. My clients are more than just the cases they represent. I am passionate about achieving justice for them.. I’ve spent over 25 years honing my craft in personal injury litigation. I was drawn to personal injury because I was fascinated by trial law. I enjoyed having the ability to change people’s lives. Medicaid and Truck Transportation companies and their insurance teams wield tremendous power over accident victims. I enjoy using my experience and expertise to provide power to people who would otherwise have no voice.. It’s a fighting spirit and tenacity I learned from my parents. As a boy working on my father’s farm, I learned the value of hard work and a determination to never give up.. Call now for a Free Consultation
