I also relish the opportunity to represent citizens who have been damaged by the negligent and/or intentional acts of bad actors. These scenarios can range from a personal injury representation due to the negligent act of a third party to the unethical actions of persons and/or companies taking advantage of trusting consumers in business transactions. Despite my love of the courtroom, I know that the best resolution is, generally, a reasonable settlement which will shorten the client’s litigation exposure and costs as quickly as possible. Protracted litigation is costly in time, treasure, and peace of mind; thus, it should not be entered into lightly. Rest assured, if you choose my law group you will be treated with respect, honesty, open and effective communication while making certain your strongest legal positions are fully presented in the most efficient manner. I am licensed to practice in all state courts in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. I am also admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Western of Tennessee, U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
