Top Estate Lawyers Near Me in Augusta Area

I bring an entrepreneurial approach to the law, focuing on adding value and promoting efficiency.  I utilize flat fees when possible, and enjoy helping my clients navigate legal territory and avoid pitfalls.

I am devoted to protecting every client's professional and financial interests.  I am a business and healthcare lawyer focused upon representation of individual physicians and healthcare professionals, large medical practices, physician groups and medical associations, surgery centers, and other healthcare providers and healthcare related businesses. I regularly represent clients in challenging disputes, including complex civil litigation, administrative hearings, high stakes proceedings before Medical Boards and other licensing authorities, NPDB appeals, various law enforcement investigations and regulatory audits, and similar healthcare related matters.  I advise and represent my clients in transactional matters such as joint ventures and business contracts, partnership or shareholder agreements, employment and staffing matters, and business dissolution. I am licensed in Georgia and South Carolina and admitted to practice before all State and Federal Courts in Georgia and South Carolina, though, with the assistance of local counsel, we handle civil cases throughout the United States. When the practice of law permits, I greatly enjoy playing golf, waterskiing, cycling and other fitness endeavors, traveling and oil painting and, most of all, the company of my family and friends.

I am a long time resident of the Augusta/North Augusta area, having lived here since 1970.  I have practiced law exclusively in this area since graduation from law school in 1984.. Personally, I am a single father and have three children -- one in college, one in high school and one in elementary school.  I am involved in their lives, as I have coached both of my sons in youth baseball leagues for 14 years in North Augusta, and my daughter in volleyball during the two years she played.  I am a Christian and active in my church, having served as a Deacon, Sunday School teacher, and on various groups and committees.. I am active in the community.  I presently serve on the Board of Directors of the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce, and am a member of Augusta (Ga.) Chamber of Commerce. I also curently serve on the Board of Directors of the University of Georgia Alumni Association (Augusta Chapter).  I have previously served as Chairman of a United Way sponsored agency. Also, I was selected for and completed the "Leadership Augusta" program.. I am an avid runner, having run a marathon, a few half marathons, and many 10K and 5K races.  I do my best to try and stay fit, and also cycle and workout regularly.. I enjoy traveling, attending sporting events, and generally being active in my "spare time".  But, I also like spending time with friends and family grilling out, watching a movie, or just enjoying each other's company.
