Born and raised in Southeast Georgia, I was a son of a log truck driver who never graduated the 9th grade. Growing up, my father taught me the importance of hard work, candor, and staying true to your word. I was taught that the hard times we face are temporary, but a person's integrity and character live with them forever. I was always reminded to stay humble, stay hungry, never forget where you came from, be the hardest worker in the room, and always fight for the working man and woman.. The principles that were instilled in me is how I conduct myself as an attorney. Above all else, I am committed to professionalism and candor. I am not going to tell you what you want to hear, but I am going to tell you what you need to hear. I will return your phone calls and emails. I will never mislead or sugar coat reality, and I will always give you the unfiltered truth.. If you have a legal problem and want my help, contact my office today to set up a consultation.
