About
I represent people charged with criminal and juvenile offenses in North Alabama, and I handle appeals statewide. I formerly clerked for a federal judge and then practiced law at major law firms representing huge corporations. I now use those skills I gained clerking and representing corporations to help regular people who are in a bind. After law school, I clerked for United States District Judge Paul Brown for two years. Working hand in hand with a federal judge, I gained practical insight into how judges make decisions and how to make effective arguments before the court. I also helped the court by researching legal issues and writing numerous draft opinions, which greatly honed my research and writing skills. These skills and this knowledge have been invaluable in my trial and appellate practice. After completing my clerkship, I worked for two of the premier law firms in the country, Baker Botts in Dallas Texas, working on high-end commercial litigation, and Balch & Bingham in Birmingham, Alabama, practicing corporate law. During this time representing major corporations, I learned the importance of attention to detail and of leaving no stone unturned in advocating for your client. In 2010, I started my own law firm in my wife's hometown of Huntsville, Alabama. I now employ the same skills I gained in my clerkship and in representing major corporations to help regular people who are in difficult circumstances. I primarily handle criminal defense and juvenile matters in North Alabama and I work on appeals statewide.
