FOUNDING PARTNER
Before moving to Marietta in 1993 to practice law, I had no history with the community of Marietta, and had never even been to the square! Of course, like every Georgian I knew about the “Big Chicken” but that was the extent of my knowledge. After a short time practicing law in Marietta I quickly developed a love for the community and all it has to offer to residents. I was welcomed by lifelong residents and those, like myself, that came later. My wife Ashley and I decided to make Marietta our home and we have been here ever since. Being able to serve this community has made my career very rewarding.
Having compassion and empathy for someone who has suffered a loss or experienced any type of injury is important to me. Thankfully, throughout my profession I’ve been given the opportunity to make positive changes in my clients’ lives. That’s why trial lawyers are also called counselors at law, not only do we help our clients with their legal problems, we also help them through the emotional challenges they face after an injury or loss of a loved one.
“One of the things I enjoy most about the practice of law is the opportunity to help people during a time of need. All of our clients have suffered through some type of tragedy and are looking to us for guidance. Helping people during a time of need is rewarding and it’s the reason why I’ve chosen to focus my practice in the area of Personal Injury.”
