I finished my undergraduate degree in 1984 from University of Missouri, Columbia and then went on to complete my JD from Washington University, St. Louis in 1991. While in law school I was a member of the Washington University regional winning Mock Trial team.. I  am licensed to practice law in the State of Missouri and over my career I have represented hundreds of individuals in the St. Louis City, St. Louis County and Franklin County areas.  My first job out of law school was working for a plaintiff’s railroad litigation firm where I was able to obtain trial and hearing experience in nine different venues in the United States. In 1995 I left that practice to become a partner in my own firm with two other partners.  Since the end of 2010 I have been a sole practitioner.. Outside of my law practice, since 1991,  I have been able to combine my undergraduate education experience with my trial knowledge as an adjunct professor with Washington University in St. Louis. I  began as an adjunct professor with the undergraduate mock trial program. After a few years, I was then hired to be an adjunct professor with the Law School teaching a Pretrial class then later returned to teaching Mock Trial, but this time at the Law School. I am honored to coach the Washington University Law School mock trial team which has qualified for the National Competition more times than any other school in the entire country..

I am an experienced attorney currently licensed to practice before the United States 4th Circuit, Eastern District of Virginia, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of Maryland, and the Superior Court of Washington DC. With over 12 years of experience in contract negotiations and transactional law, and having built a successful referral based practice from the ground up, I am an attorney with extensive trial experience in criminal law in both state and federal court, extensive trial and negotiation experience in juvenile and domestic relations courts, and many years advising C-suite executives, government contractors, and commercial developers.. I have direct in-depth experience in commercial property transactions and contract negotiations against corporations as large as Amazon Services LLC, for government contractos, retail stores, inventors, farms, and start-ups.. As a transactional attorney, I utilize my listening skills and writing skills to advise CEOs, CFO’s, Boards of Directors, grass roots organizations, and lobbying groups. I identify conflict inflection points, negotiate mergers and acquisitions, draft purchase agreements, articles of incorporation, operating agreements, leases, business plans and investor pro formas. I advise on monetization, security, raising capital, cash burn rates, and implementation. I am often engaged in mitigating risk or identifying liabilities in unsettled areas of law or emerging areas of law by providing comparative analysis of trends and precedent in similar or adjacent areas of law, commercial norms, other permitted activity, and, occasionally by historical analogy. In coordinating legal teams on complex cases and projects with various federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as various administrative rule making bodies, I have become adept at leading teams in litigation, factual investigations, strategic decision making, and risk identification and management, and have developed a deep understanding and appreciation for the importance of community and legislative relations.. I often utilize my background in neuropsychology, behavioral science, and game theory to effectively organize wide varieties of data derived from diverse sources such as human intelligence, signal and communication intelligence, open-source intelligence, discoverable materials, FOIA’s, and expert opinion, to craft effective litigation strategies and provide leverage in negotiations. I am adept at client communication and case analysis, with a specialty in engaging in, and monetizing, emerging and unsettled areas of law, technology, and commerce.. My work with real estate developers, government contractors, inventors, and start-ups has exposed me to multi-million-dollar commercial property transactions, IP protection, zero trust architecture, digital twinning, cloning, quantum computing, neural networks, and other emerging areas of technology such as artificial intelligence. I have direct experience in large GPU assemblies and their various capabilities. I understand and stay current in the latest continuing legal education for machine learning, supervised classification and regression models, unsupervised clustering and association models, reinforcement training, and can competently advise as to use, misuse, malfunctions, hallucinations, risks of biases, unintended consequences, as well as identifying threats to security resulting from implementation, or lack there-of, for businesses. These skillsets allow me to identifying use-case risks, opportunities, threats, and weaknesses while promulgating effective strategies for monetization and liability mitigation for a wide range of economic activities.. For example, in 2014-2015, I assisted in writing the probable cause language of Initiative 71 which legalized cannabis cultivation, posession, and gifting of cannabis in the nation's capitol. In 2022, as outside counsel for Everyday Investors Real Estate Development, I advised the CEO on litigation strategies, assembled and managed litigation teams, provided advice in adopting long-term strategic goals, and otherwise performed services such as risk identification and liability avoidance. I negotiated several multi-million-dollar purchase agreements and commercial real-estate development contracts. I drafted requests for proposals for social equity and certified minority businesses, created SoPs that streamlined management responsibilities and staff training, and drafted non-disclosure agreements and releases to reduce future litigation risks. As an advisor to the governance board, I supported equity and inclusion initiatives with the creation of an apprenticeship program for children from Wards 6, 7, and 8 that provided a career development workshop for children in DC looking to work in real estate, resisential and commercial development.. During this time, I also provided counsel for Generational Equity Movement (GEM), an alliance dedicated to creating generational wealth and opportunity for underserved and underrepresented communities.

DC’s Own LLC was retained to consult on 7 security contracts in 2023 and returned receivables that resulted in successful contract awards for each client. In 2024, I was further retained by the entities who were successfully awarded contracts to advise as to appropriate execution and implementation, draft operating agreements, develop business plans, assist in series A and B fundraising, and to provide future compliance review.. As lead counsel for several high-profile complex federal RICO, gang, firearm, and narcotic distribution cases, in some instances encompassing over 30 defendants and hundreds of indictments, I have spent countless hours in discovery, examining lab reports, forensic evidence, and witness statements and am well versed in resolving cases with interagency involvement and intense public scrutiny. Over the course of time, I achieved working knowledge of the operational methodology of national and international gangs, and the activity of other non-state actors in the trafficking of narcotics, weapons, and humans, and developed an expertise in cryptocurrencies, various forms crypto-mining, and blockchain, identity management, tumblers, hard and digital wallets, Web 3.0, Web 2.0, end-to-end encryption, and how each may be used to facilitate crime..
