I was born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia and have lived and loved the Hampton Roads area my whole life.  I graduated from law school in 1975 and opened my own practice in 1977.. I am the father of four children and love spending all my free time with my family.. I

I have been practicing law since 1996.  Since working as a page in high school, and then as an intern and clerk for Congressmen while in college, I have developed a serious desire to help out the “little guy” and help them stand up to the largest of corporate powers.   Over the course of almost two decades in law, I have helped thousands of clients get the justice and compensation they deserve for their injuries.. I am a graduate of Lafayette College and the Howard University School of law with honors, and served as an associate managing editor of the law review. I practice law with genuine heart and a work ethic that separates myself from peers.  Born and raised outside of Washington D.C., I worked as a page in high school and then as an intern and clerk for Congressmen on both sides of the aisle during every summer while in college.  Further, while in law school, I clerked for the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and the United States Attorney's Office in San Diego, California. I am a member of numerous bar associations locally and nationally and teach trial advocacy CLE courses annually to my peers.

I have been practicing law for almost 22 years.  I strive to treat my clients like I would want my family members to be treated by colleagues.  I am tough as nails and trial tested.. I have a 12 year old daughter.  I enjoy sports, travelling and reading.

I enjoy training personal protection dogs in my spare time.  I have always been a dog lover, and when a family friend introduced me to protection dogs, I was hooked.  It amazes me how a good protection dog combines intensity and obedience.  I like to think that a good lawyer is not unlike a good protection dog: loyal to you, tough on your opponent!

For over ten years, I have been working as an advocate for individuals in need.  After graduating from Regent University Law School, I began working as an attorney for Virginia Legal Aid Society, where I provided legal representation to low income individuals and families in the areas of housing, consumer, family and public benefits cases.  While at VLAS, I was the director of the HEAL program, a medical legal partnership where her office teamed up with local health care providers in the Western Tidewater area to identify patients who had situations affecting their health that may be improved by legal representation.. At Rutter Mills, I have been able to continue my passion and lifelong pursuit of helping those in need as a Social Security Disability Attorney, where I fight every day to get my disabled clients the benefits they are entitled by law.

For nearly twenty years, I have worked in just about every aspect of workers’ compensation.. I started out in a general law practice, representing injured workers in both state and Federal workers’ compensation cases in the state of Alabama. Returning home, I served the Commonwealth of Virginia for a number of years as a Staff Attorney at the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission. In that role, I wrote over 600 Review Opinions for the Commission, served as a mediator in over 100 matters successfully resolved by full and final settlement and served as the Commission Editor of the publication, The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act, Annotated, 2002 and 2003 Editions. Thereafter, for over a decade, I represented employers and insurers in the defense of workers’ compensation claims. I have been a frequent speaker at workers’ compensation seminars across Virginia.. I now bring this wealth of experience to bear to help injured workers throughout Tidewater and Hampton Roads.
