About

I grew up in Raleigh and attended public schools. I graduated from UNC in 1977 and from UNC Law School in 1980.I returned to Raleigh in 1980 and practiced at the largest law firm in North Carolina which exclusively represented insurance companies and corporations for 11½ years. I handled large accident cases; represented trucking companies and truck drivers; defended hospitals and doctors; represented product manufacturers; defended retail stores and businesses; and represented insurance companies and insurance agencies against their policyholders and clients.I tried many cases and handled many appeals, but I wanted to help people and stop fighting against individuals, families and small businesses. After changing sides in 1991, I’ve used what I learned to help people and small businesses get what they deserve. My practice is limited to only those type cases where I have experience, and I control my work load to give my clients the best possible representation. I also have been privileged to have many fine lawyers associate me as co-counsel on their largest and most serious cases. I have represented clients all over North Carolina, but most of my cases are from Raleigh to the coast. My wife and I have three children. Despite the passion for my job and commitment to my clients, I stay fresh by devoting time to my family and life outside the office, including time with church and friends, I enjoy golf, fishing, yoga and exercise. Keeping balance in my life helps me empathize and serve my clients better.
