I graduated from Wake Forest University School of Law in 2016 for my Juris Doctorate and The College of William and Mary in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in American Studies. Prior to attending Wake Forest University School of Law for his Juris Doctorate, I worked as a legal assistant for Zoby, Broccoletti, & Normile, PC in Norfolk, VA. My work in Norfolk was directly under James Broccoletti, one of the pre-eminent criminal defense attorneys in the Commonwealth of Virginia, specializing in major felony cases.. While I was at Wake Forest, I was an active member of the executive board of the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund, with a personal emphasis on researching and becoming involved in the laws governing dog fighting and dangerous dog laws on the state and federal levels. This was a passion project for me, as my family has been very involved in animal welfare and animal charity my whole life, and it has been a pleasure to continue contributing to similar organizations as often as possible. I have taken pride throughout my career in being a zealous advocate for all of my clients, and helping them navigate the often perilous world of the court system. Those who know me will attest to my professionalism and preparation, and if you find yourself in legal trouble you will find yourself in good hands with me at your side.
