It is my goal to always give my clients undivided, personalized attention and care to each concern. I aim to deeply understand the circumstances of your company's situation to work towards the most effective, practical resolution.. I'm passionately interested in employment law because it is so much broader than just contracts and production. It's a diverse subject of paperwork and personalities, and the many ways that those can go so very wrong or so very right. For that reason, I am passionate about impacting the employer-employee relationship-- a relationship that I believe to be among the most important relationships a person or entity can maintain.. Prior to becoming a licensed attorney, I completed labor and employment clerkships in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Lexington. While a student at the University of Kentucky College of Law, I was a member of the Trial Advocacy Board and served on the Executive Board of the LGBTQ Interests Group. I have successfully completed Trial Skills Training provided by the Kentucky Access to Justice Commission.

I want to represent honest, hard-working individuals and families who have been damaged by the negligent or intentional wrongdoing of others.  My experience has mainly been in personal injury and accident cases, employment law including discrimination, whistleblower and wages and overtime cases, insurance claims and cases and Kentucky workers compensation cases.  Although Kentucky does not recognize any areas of legal specialty, I know these areas the best, they often overlap and interrrelate in a particular case and it is an advantage to have a lawyer who can cover all these bases.  I invite you to contact to visit my website and contact my office.. I am also required by Kentucky law to tell you that THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT.

I have dedicated my career to helping the legal needs of the disadvantaged. I am academically and professionally involved in the Bar. I focus on New Deal legislation and subscribe to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's declaration that "Necessitous men are not free men." Many American employees are unable to provide for their families due to corporations terminating them without just cause. Similarly, many workers who are deprived of living wages are unable to be free. So, I represent hard working people that have fell victim to corporate greed.
