Honestly this is the hardest thing to write on this entire profile  I hate to “toot my own horn” because, to me, it can come across as sounding like I’m full of myself.  I can assure you that isn’t the case.  Still you need to know a little bit about me and my background to be able to determine if I’m a good fit for you.. Well for starters out of the 88 people who graduated in my law school class, I was ranked number 2.  I also graduate summa cum laude (the highest honors your can earn).  I’m also a published author.  My article, A Guide for Tennessee Criminal Defense Attorneys in Capital Sentencing Hearings: Representing Clients who were Acutely Intoxicated During the Alleged Crime and Clients with a History of Addiction, was chosen to be included in the book Perspectives on Capital Punishment in America which was edited by Charles MacLean.. I guess that means I’m suppose to be pretty smart.  More importantly I think it reflects that I’m not afraid to work really hard to accomplish my goals. If you hire me to represent you, I’ll work with the exact same determination to assist you that elevated me to the very top of my law school class.. Some things in life you can only learn from experience regardless of your educational background.  Sometime wisdom only comes with age.  I’ve been around the block a few times and I have the grey hairs to prove it!  I’d like to think that my maturity gives me a unique perspective that can assist my clients in finding a more positive outcome for their situation.. For almost 20 I was a professional magician.  Yes, you read that right.  I have literally performed thousands of magic shows for resorts, amusement parks, and corporations around the globe.  I think it goes without saying that I am very comfortable speaking in front of people.. So why is that important for you?. Well, being able to stand up in front of judges and juries and argue for your client is a big part of what lawyers do.  I believe that my ability to be comfortable “standing and delivering” in front of judges went a long way towards my partner and I advancing to the quarter finals of the Charleston School of Law’s National Moot Court Competition.  Don’t you want a lawyer that is comfortable arguing your case, and isn’t afraid to speak in front of a judge or jury?  I believe my prior experience in the entertainment business is a very powerful asset that I’d like to put to work for you.. I also have a fourth degree black belt in American Karate and a second degree black belt in Shotokan Karate-Do.  In 1993 I was ranked among the top 20 light weight black belt fighters in the nation by the North American Sport Karate Association.  I think this demonstrates that 1) I’m not afraid of a fight, and 2) I’m not easily intimidated.  If you hire me to represent you, I promise that I will fight just as hard for you.  I won’t be intimidated by the prosecution.  I won’t be afraid to fight for every legal benefit to which you are entitled.  I won’t be afraid to go to trial.

If you're looking for a long-term solution to your war, and not simply looking to win a single battle, you've found your family law attorney.  My conflict resolution strategies get results.  Many people search for "aggressive" family law attorneys, not realizing that there is a better way.  I continute to be successful against even the most seasoned attorneys because my approach is "refreshing" to most judges. Gone are the days of attorneys duking it out in court like you see on television; and most attorneys' failure to recognize that simple fact helps me be successful for my clients.. I recognize that each situation is different and therefore, I work with clients to formulate a unique strategy for their case.  Looking toward long-term resolution for current issues and anticipating future issues also saves many clients money because many issues are dealt with simultaneously at one cost.. Having gone through divorce myself with two children, I understand the frustration of working with the other spouse/parent and how daunting the court process can be.  My personal experience makes me patient and eager to give each client individual attention.. Prior to being an attorney, I managed another law office for 7 years and worked part-time as a paralegal in that same office.  Before joining the legal field, I worked as an insurance claims representative for more than 10 years.  My extensive work history in both fields has given me valuable experience in conflict resolution and negotiation, and has taught me how to be aggressive in necessary situations.
