Top Car Accident Lawyers Near Me in Alpharetta Area

I grew up in Toledo, Ohio. I knew from when I was young I wanted to be an attorney. I received bachelor degrees from Miami (OH) University in 1998, graduating cum laude. I then went on to attend law school at Wake Forest University School of Law where I earned my Juris Doctor in 2001. Shortly after graduating law school, I passed the Georgia Bar and began my career.. I have been practicing law continuously since 2001. During the first 14½ years my practice was focused on representing companies and insurers in personal injury actions. My specialty was defending truck drivers, motor carriers, and their insurers. For the most part, I enjoyed the legal work but the case’s results often left me empty and unfulfilled. When I did my job well, an injured person’s recovery was limited or, in some cases, eliminated. I needed to make a change, and I did.  In 2015, I transformed my practice. Instead of representing companies and insurers, I changed to filing lawsuits against them. I enjoy being part of the solution instead of one of the many obstacles standing between the injured person and their just compensation.. When I am not practicing law, I can be found in Alpharetta spending time with my wife and two kids. My weekends are spent on soccer fields and/or basketball courts. If I am not with my family, I am likely cheering on my beloved Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Cleveland Guardians.

For twenty years, I worked for a well-respected Atlanta law firm practicing insurance defense law.  In 2013, I began exclusively representing injured people against insurance companies and other people and companies that negligently caused injuries and damages.  My experience handling cases for insurance companies provides an excellent background for now representing injured clients.  I provide all clients with my personal cell phone number so they can reach me any time.  I have tried and won cases in Georgia state and federal courts - including cases where millions of dollars were at stake - and I have argued cases to the Georgia Court of Appeals and Georgia Supreme Court.. I have been married for twenty-one years and have two teenaged children, one of whom is a sophomore at The University of Georgia and the other is a Junior in high school.  I coached them both in basketball for over ten years.  I previously served as a Board Member on the Alpharetta High School Dugout Club, which is the baseball organizing and booster club for the high school.  Previously, I served for ten years on the Board of the Alpharetta YMCA where I focused on fundraising to help families and children in need.
