I am a husband and father of five wonderful children.  I am a Sunday School teacher at First United Methodist Church in Dothan.  I have been practicing law since 1998.  I started off as an insurance defense lawyer working for two great attorneys, Herman Cobb and Steadman Shealy.  Herman and Steadman taught me a great deal about the practice of law and I am forever indebted to them.  After four years as a defense lawyer, I changed firms and started representing injured people almost exclusively.  I became law partners with Joey Morris, Tracy Cary, Mark Andrews and Cory Driggers.  I am proud to work with these men, all of whom are committed to zealous and ethical representation of people in need of help.  Our office is in Dothan, but we handle cases in the surrounding area from Montgomery to Columbus to Albany to Tallahassee.  We try to remain faithful to our values in a profession where it is sometimes hard to do that.  We have been privileged to represent some of the most wonderful people in the Wiregrass.  We thank them for putting their trust in us.  We look forward to many more years of serving the people in our community.
