I have been a trial lawyer for more than 30 years.  After almost 8 years as an Assistant District Attorney, I opened my private practice in 1987.  Since that time, I have been representing persons accused of crimes from traffic offenses to capital murder as well as those who have been injured by the negligence of others.  I have been a Board Certified Specialist in State Criminal Law since 1996.  I have had a Martindale Hubbard AV rating for more than 10 years.  I have been recognized as one of North Carlonia's Top Lawyers by Charlotte Magazine's  Super Lawyers Edition since 2008.

My firm is a small firm delivering large firm quality with personal attention to the needs of the injured and the accused.
