When I first started as a Knoxville attorney in 2007, I had absolutely no clue what kind of law I wanted to practice. After many years of practice, I have found that what I love is the stuff you see on TV. Sure, I don’t mind sitting down and doing some legal research and writing for a few hours from time to time, but to go to court and negotiate, argue, and litigate – that’s exciting stuff! So when I’m meeting with clients and discussing possible courses of action, I won’t be trying to talk clients out of going to trial because I’m very comfortable handling a trial. I will only encourage other courses of action, like settlement discussions and mediation, when I believe them to be in your best interest. So contact me today or call at 865-294-8008.

I have represented individuals and businesses in the state and federal courts of Tennessee. My experience has included representation in the areas of insurance defense litigation, general civil litigation, consumer bankruptcy, divorce and family law. In my spare time I enjoy cooking for my wife and family, boating, and spending as much time as possible with my two dogs. I am also active in my community having volunteered for the Boys and Girls Club of East Tennessee as well as serving on the boards for non-profit originations including multiple boards for Court Appointed Special Advocates.
