I began my career as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Jasper County, Missouri.  As an A.P.A. I learned valuable information and and insight on how the court process works, how the prosecutor's office handles cases, and great trial experience.  After leaving the Prosecutor's office, I went into private practice.  I have handled a very large volume of criminal matters.  I have represented clients charged with the most serious of felonies, all kinds of misdemeanors, and even minor city ordinance violations.  On a daily basis, I answer client phone calls, represent clients in court, get warrants withdrawn, help clients get their license reinstated, and give counsel regarding their current problems.  In addition, I help clients that have been involved in auto accidents.  I ensure that clients are justly compensated by insurance companies for their injuries and damages. I take pride in my work and do my best to promptly respond to client phone calls and questions.
