I received my Bachelor of Business Administration degree, with concentrations in Finance and Real Estate, from the University of Georgia in 1980, and my Juris Doctorate from John Marshall Law School. Upon graduation, I was admitted to practice of law in Georgia.
I am an active member of the Gwinnett County Bar and the State Bar of Georgia. I am also a member of the John Marshall Law School Alumni Association, and the UGA Alumni Association.
I believe that the best way to solve a problem is to avoid it in the first place. Accordingly, I stress problem prevention by counseling clients about the obligations and risks inherent in their undertakings before they commit to them. If I am included at the onset of those undertakings, I can take the appropriate steps to help minimize those risks or avoid them altogether. However, if a problem should arise, or if a problem already exists (which is often the case) I approach its resolution pragmatically, taking into account each client's tolerance for conflict, their need for resolution and the overall economics of their situation.
Every case and client is unique, and I treat them that way.
In my spare time, I love to play golf, learn from the business acumen of my wife who has a very successful dental practice, and enjoy watching my son grow in favor with god and man.
When I believe in a case, I am willing to make whatever investment is necessary to achieve the desired results.
Should you choose to retain me as your lawyer, you are going to find a more personal experience than you would at most other law firms. I take a hands-on approach to every case and emphasize accessibility and service to the people I help. I will personally handle every aspect of your case and you will not be handed off to a junior associate. |
