Northern Missouri lawyer handling criminal defense, government and adminstrative law. Protecting your rights, your family, your liberty.

My career has been devoted to public service at the local government level. My father was a local government attorney and professor of local government, so you might say that I have local government in my blood. Beginning with the tiny Village of Wardsville I have represented all types of cities over the course of my career; from populations below 200 to above 40,000.  I served for ten years as the city attorney for the City of Jefferson.  In 2012 I was honored to receive the top award for a municipal attorney, the Lou Czech Award in recognition of my professionalism in the field of municipal law.. While attorneys are notorious for saying no, I believe that the art of the practice of law is to find a way to accomplish my client’s goal. I encourage you to talk to any of the cities I have represented and they will tell you how successful this philosophy has been in accomplishing their goals.

I graduated from the St. Louis University School of Law after receiving undergraduate degrees in Business and Politics from Drake University. While in law school, I worked in the Legal Clinic and litigated cases before the Missouri Court of Appeals.  I also clerked for Circuit Court Judge Jon Beetem and Judge Paul Wilson, who is now a justice on the Missouri Supreme Court.  Upon graduating law school, I worked as Enforcement Counsel for the Missouri Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions, and Professional Registration where I gained experience working with insurance companies and handling administrative law matters.  I have represented clients in workers’ compensation matters at hearings and dockets throughout Missouri and am a member of the Missouri Bar and the Cole County Bar Association.

I grew up in Farmington, Missouri, went to undergrad at Mizzou, law school at Drake in Iowa, and then earned a post-doctoral degree in law & goernement from the American Univeristy in Washington, D.C. In my career I've handled both civil and crimianl jury trials, I've argued dozens of appeals, won a Missouri Supreme Court case, prosecuted hundreds of serious felonies, defended the State from lawsuits, and much more.

I enjoy trial. I enjoy being in the courtroom. I have built my reputation on my ability and willingness to try cases both before juries and judges. I have also earned the respect of my clients by providing candid legal advice based upon what my clients need to hear rather than what they want to hear. My clients may not always like what I tell them, but they appreciate understanding their rights and strength or weakness of their position.

I enjoy politics, philosophy, history, and the law. I have a passion for helping others and fixing problems. I became a lawyer to refute the negative stereotypes that plague my profession, and I strive to change the minds of those of who have had negative experiences with attorneys. When not working, I spend my free time with cars, art, games, music and reading.

I am a certified Guardian ad Litem for children and the elderly.  I can be appointed by the court or requested privately to represent the most vulnerable members of our community.  During my college years I interned for a Federal Judge and on Capitol Hill.
