I provide competent and vigilant representation for my clients. My passion for such representation stems from my experience of seeing innocent people convicted of crimes because the criminal justice system failed them. Such failures devastate the person wrongfully convicted and his or her love ones as well. I always zealously advocate for my clients to address flaws in the system so that judges and juries understand that a charge does not always mean guilt.. My experience includes representing clients in numerous first offense driving under the influence (DUI), second offense DUI, or felony DUI cases with positive results, including dismissals, non-adjudications, and other resolutions that were substantially less than the penalties allowed by law. Additionally, I have successfully represented many other clients charged with drug possession, drug sales, murder, rape and sexual battery, aggravated assault, embezzlement and fraud.. Proverbs 31:9 directs us to “Open [our] mouths, judge righteously, and defend the rights of the poor and needy.” I believe that one of my missions in life is to put this command into action with zealous and effective advocacy for those seeking justice in our legal system.

As a 41 year old Christian, I am married 21 years with four children, a son and three daughters.  I was raised in Marion County on a farm in the Improve Community attending Bassfield schools for ten years and East Marion for two to graduate.  I then served active duty in the U. S. Army. Thereafter, after trade school at PRCC, I worked in the heating and air conditioning trade until I was injured and returned to school.  With the support of my wife I successfully attended PRCC and USM obtaining my bachelor degree in history and political science and went on to Ole Miss to obtain my law degree by December 2002.. I have practiced over eleven years working for a criminal prosecutor, civil litigation defense firm, and opened my office as a solo practitioner over seven years ago in Columbia.  I have worked and tried cases in the circuit, chancery, justice, municipal, and youth courts, which include issues of discrimination, contract, warranty, professional liability, real property, criminal law, employer discrimination, personal injury, and family law.  The focus of my practice is on family law and criminal defense.. I have the intelligence, energy, and devotion to provide quality service without the ego or political associations limiting my ability to provide those services in a small community with integrity, ethically and in accordance with the law.  My individualism, integrity, and idealism in my practice has led to me being labeled a bully, bulldog, and stubborn, but my integrity, character, ethics, and professionalism have no price.. Allow me the opportunity to serve your legal needs with what I bring to the table, true concern for your legal needs combined with professionalism, integrity and experience.. Thanks and God Bless.
