As a 41 year old Christian, I am married 21 years with four children, a son and three daughters.  I was raised in Marion County on a farm in the Improve Community attending Bassfield schools for ten years and East Marion for two to graduate.  I then served active duty in the U. S. Army. Thereafter, after trade school at PRCC, I worked in the heating and air conditioning trade until I was injured and returned to school.  With the support of my wife I successfully attended PRCC and USM obtaining my bachelor degree in history and political science and went on to Ole Miss to obtain my law degree by December 2002.

I have practiced over eleven years working for a criminal prosecutor, civil litigation defense firm, and opened my office as a solo practitioner over seven years ago in Columbia.  I have worked and tried cases in the circuit, chancery, justice, municipal, and youth courts, which include issues of discrimination, contract, warranty, professional liability, real property, criminal law, employer discrimination, personal injury, and family law.  The focus of my practice is on family law and criminal defense.

I have the intelligence, energy, and devotion to provide quality service without the ego or political associations limiting my ability to provide those services in a small community with integrity, ethically and in accordance with the law.  My individualism, integrity, and idealism in my practice has led to me being labeled a bully, bulldog, and stubborn, but my integrity, character, ethics, and professionalism have no price. 

Allow me the opportunity to serve your legal needs with what I bring to the table, true concern for your legal needs combined with professionalism, integrity and experience.

Thanks and God Bless.
