A Nashville Native, I put my all into my work--striving each day to be better and do better than the last. I am constantly learning and bettering my skills in and out of the courtroom. A licensed educator, I taught for eight years and I am constantly in search of ways to make the world a better place. I am an avid reader, runner, and world traveller with degrees in Classical Languages, Philosophy, Education, and (obviously) Law.

For the last 15 years, I have represented many persons and business with their legal issues.  When selecting an attorney, we believe that you must feel comfortable in trusting that attorney with your life decisions in legal matters.  Whether your case is a criminal charge and you've been arrested, need advice regarding a divorce or child custody matter, a loved one has passed away or you've been injured from someone's mistake or negligence, our firm has been trused by many clients.  Trust and legal ability is a high standard and you must select an attorney that has this high standard.. I have lived in the Nashville area since 1985.  In my early years, I was a sworn police officer with the Metro-Nashville Police Department.  During my police career, I've been a patrol officer, narcotics detective, violent crimes investigator and hostage negotiator. During this career, I attended law school and worked extremely hard to achieving my law degree.  I was successful and became the legal advisor and legal instructor for the entire Metro Police Dept.  I worked closely with Davidson County prosecutors and was the liason between the police department and District Attorney's Office.. In 2001, I elected to open my private Nashville law practice and ended my career as a police officer.  For the last 15 years, I have used my experience as an effective litigator and "problem solver" for my clients.  We have many families and businesses that trust our office with their legal matters.  My life and legal experience in Nashville has made a difference for our clients, whether it has been a criminal case, divorce or other legal matters.  I have the knowledge, experience and wisdom that sets me apart from other attorneys.  Our clients are referrals from persons that know and trust me and this is how our firm has been successful.  I've only recently begun to market with AVVO.. On a more personal note, I have been involved with our church for many years; coached everything from football, baseball to basketball.  I've played sports all of my life and believe in the sound fundamentals it teaches.  I have 2 wonderful children and a great wife who is a partner/lawyer with our firm.  I believe in the 2nd amendment and the right to protect yourself.  I am a member of the NRA, Tennessee Firearms Association and other various organizations.  I do not judge a person for past discretions.  I believe in a open mind and cast no judgment.. I have represented many folks from various backgrounds, from police officers, fireman, priests, doctors, soldiers, stay-at-home moms, fathers, political figures, homeless persons, to children facing very serious crimes.  I am a trusted ally to my clients and work hard to helping my clients with their legal matters.  I have some active clients that I have been representing since 2002.. Not all attorneys are a good fit for their client.  But for our clients, we have been the "go-to" attorney for their legal problems for many years.  I hope that I can help and serve you with your matters.

I moved to Nashville in 2011 after graduating law school. I'm a solo Criminal Defense attorney, handling anything between minor drug possession and violent felony charges. I believe each case should be handled individually, because each client is an individual with their own history, experiences, and goals. My practice is client-focused, with utmost importance placed on making sure my clients feel that they are in as much control of the direction their case is headed as is humanly possible. I pride myself on maintaining a steady line of communication with clients at all times.. I live in West Nashville with my wife, two dogs, and cat. In our free time we enjoy biking, camping, hiking, canoeing, and playing board games.

The number one question I get asked is why I do criminal law. The answer is simple, "because I love it." Every single case is a new unique puzzle. Every time a client walks in my office I possess the skill and ability to help them. Other lawyers might give a speech about everyone's right to a defense and civilized society, but the truth is I am here because I enjoy every second of it and I have the skills to win.
