About: I have over 20 years of experience in the areas of personal injury claims, property and construction disputes, contract negotiation and preparation, business lawsuits, estate and trust litigation, and workers’ compensation issues. I am an active member of the Anderson County, Blount County, Knoxville, Loudon County, Sevier County and Tennessee Bar Associations. I represent a wide range of clients who live in Tennessee or who have interests in Tennessee. I created this practice to provide my clients with more direct access to the attorney they hired. When you call me, I answer or return your call. When you email me, I respond to your message. Legal problems can seem complex and overwhelming, but I provide practical advice and strategies to help you evaluate and pursue solutions that work for the facts of your particular case.
Former Firm Names: We are proud to continue serving clients under our established name.
Clients: Our clients value our commitment to privacy and professionalism.
Other Office Locations: We offer remote legal services and assist clients anywhere.
