I have lived in Southern Illinois, since 1987.  Since I am a transplant from the Chicago area, I did not attend school here and am not familiar with the general gossip about people around town.  I find that a lot of clients prefer to have lawyers who are not already involved in either parties' business in some form or fashion.. I have practiced law for over 30 years. Please see my profile for my areas of practice.  I have worked as a solo practitioner, an associate, a public defender and a legal services attorney..
