Being the founding partner of this legal corporation was a long journey and one that is held in the highest regard.
During my time in law school I gained valuable experience that put me in the position of service to the community. I valued my legal internships with the Veterans Legal Assistant Clinic and top defense attorneys practicing in the region.
I have assisted professors in teaching contract and tort law. I have experience serving clients in a variety of matters including: criminal, family, financial, and military matters.
I strive to build strong relationships with clients and provide top quality legal service using the breadth of my legal and personal experience.
