Top Litigation Lawyers in ZIP 38103 | 25 available

My law practice is guided by my personal philosophy that success is achieved by building trust and working hard. When I am not advocating for clients, I can be found working in the yard or in front of the grill.  I enjoy hunting and fishing as well as cheering on the hometown Memphis Grizzlies. A lifelong Southerner, I especially enjoy SEC football and spending time with family.
