A Seasoned Litigator Experienced on Both Sides
As a former prosecutor and insurance defense attorney, I bring valuable insight to every case I handle. Combined with my familiarity with the local legal community, this experience works to your advantage. I will build a smart and persuasive case for you from a position that anticipates the other side's strategies.
My practice is focused on the following:
Personal injury and car accidents
I work with clients who have been hurt in a car or other motor vehicle accident, slip and fall or dog bite. I have handled thousands of personal injury cases. As a former insurance defense attorney, I can quickly size up the strengths and weaknesses of a case. Because I know what the insurance company is looking for, I anticipate and effectively combat the ways they will try to undermine your case and offer you less than what it is worth.
DUI/DWI Defense
If you were arrested for drunk driving, you are at serious risk for losing your license and facing other harsh penalties. I spent two years with the Clayton County Solicitor's office prosecuting DUI cases almost exclusively. With first-hand knowledge of how the State prepares its cases, I aggressively identify and challenge weaknesses. I work hard to protect your license and minimize any the negative consequences you face. I am experienced in the procedures for obtaining a limited work/school driving permit.
Criminal Defense
I represent clients facing misdemeanor or felony charges, including drug crimes, aggravated assault, domestic violence, theft, forgery, rape, murder and probation or parole violations. The criminal legal process is full of pitfalls. It is critical to understand your rights and have an experienced advocate at your side to protect them. As a former prosecutor in Clayton and Newton Counties, my criminal defense representation is aggressive, intelligent and insightful.
In addition to these areas, I also handle general civil litigation, providing knowledgeable and committed representation in disputes involving contract, construction law and family law.
