BIO

I am a native of Waycross, Georgia and have resided in metro Atlanta since 1993. I established my solo law practice back in 1995 and have worked with thousands of people in Cobb, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, and other surrounding counties. 

 

Prior to starting my practice, I worked in state government relations with the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, as a national municipal law association attorney as an associate in a general law practice and as a Congressional staff member for U. S. Senators Sam Nunn and Mack Mattingly.
