I graduated with honors from the University of Tennessee College of Law in December 1996 and thereafter was granted a license to practice law in April 1997.  Since that time I have practiced in private law practice and in a corporate setting.. From 2007-2013, I served as an Assistant Law Examiner for the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners.  In that position, I wrote and graded essays for each bar exam, and I also assisted in reviewing applications for licensure for moral fitness to be a Tennessee licensed attorney.. During my time as an attorney, I have practiced largely in the areas of bankruptcy (Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13), business and commercial law, litigation, and civil rights.. My clients would tell you that I am personable, compassionate, zealous, intelligent, and loyal.  I give my clients straight-forward advice, and I always respond to their calls, e-mails and texts.  I am very technologically saavy.  I believe these qualities and attributes have led to my successes as an attorney.. Whether you are a business or an individual, I would love to help you out of your problems.
