I have over 30 years of experience as a trial attorney and military lawyer. I have represented thousands of clients, most of whom have been members of the military and their families. These cases include hundreds of courts-martial, administrative boards, military investigations and other military matters, in addition to cases in both state and federal court. I believe in zealous representation. The Military Justice Center is committed to providing straightforward, superb, and skilled legal advice and representation to every client. Experience --my experience as an attorney began in 1982. I served in the US Army on active duty from 1982 to 1986 with the Trial Defense Service. Later, I served as an Assistant Federal Public Defender from 1986 to 1989. In the Federal Public Defender's office, I represented various defendants in United States District Court and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I was responsible for all military-related cases arising out of Fort Bragg, Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point and Pope AFB. In 1989, I returned to Fayetteville to begin private practice. Since then I have represented clients in all courts; military, state, and federal. My practice includes military law, criminal law (both State and Federal), personal injury law and medical malpractice. In 1999, I began the Military Justice Center to better serve the military community. I have advised Privates, Sergeant Majors, General Officers, and their family members. I have tried cases ranging from traffic violations to federal drug conspiracies to capital murder. My clients have included victims of personal injury, wrongful death, and medical malpractice. In 2001, I graduated from the Judge Advocates School's Military Judge Course and am a certified Military Judge. In 2003, as Staff Judge Advocate of the North Carolina's 30th Heavy Separate Brigade, I was called to active duty for Operation Iraqi Freedom. My two years of active duty service included 10 months in Iraq, for which I received the Bronze Star Medal. I was released from Active Duty in September 2005. I have now reorganized the Military Justice Center and is ready to represent military personnel anywhere in the world. As a civilian once again, I am able to use my experience as a deployed Staff Judge Advocate to communicate with active duty commanders and judge advocates. Areas of Practice include but is not limited to... Courts-Martial, Administrative Boards, Article 15's, Military Investigations, Criminal Law, Federal (White Collar Crime), Medical Malpractice, Personal Injury and Wrongful Death.

I am passionate about helping Servicemembers and litigating criminal law. After serving on Active Duty with the US Army JAG Corps, I decided it was time to pursue my passion in a civilian capacity.. As a Judge Advocate, I was a Defense Counsel, Trial Counsel (Prosecutor), Senior Trial Counsel, and Acting Chief of Military Justice at the busiest Army installation in the world.. We currently practice a wide range of civilian criminal and military law, to include security clearances, appeals to the respective Boards of Correction for Military Records, courts martial, and administrative separations.. If you retain me, I will zealously advocate on your behalf.
