Raised in Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas, my parents were hard working, blue-collar folks who taught me to earn my own way.  Since then, I have worked very hard to support my family while advancing my career.  I worked full-time to pay my way through law school.

My passion is helping regular people to understand the complex and often overwhelming legal issues they face. I believe it is important to explain the law and the various potential options available to my clients.  The clients will live with the consequences of their choices, and they need the best possible information so they can make the choices that are right for them.  I believe whole-heartedly in assertive, compassionate representation.
