I have over 20 years of practice experience in Tennessee and Georgia.  I am a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 Listed Family, Civil and Domestic Violence Mediator.  I am a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) securities arbitrator, U.S. Department of Justice/Key Bridge Foundation mediator in matters arising under the Federal Americans With Disabilities Act, and admitted to all courts serving East Tennessee and Northwest Georgia including the U.S. Supreme Court.  I am trained in collaborative law and practice as well as in military divorce and Veterans Administration benefits claims.  Before becoming a lawyer, I was in hospital and medical staff administration.  I bring a practical approach to the practice of law and work hard as a team with my clients, seeking to attentively listen to their concerns, goals and desired outcomes.  To the fullest extent of the law and considering my clients' facts, I work hard to achieve their goals and desired outcomes.
