You Deserve an Attorney Who Has Seen This from Both Sides
I've spent more than 25 years in criminal law — first as a Cobb County prosecutor learning exactly how the state builds its cases, and now as a defense attorney using that same knowledge to protect my clients. That background isn't a talking point. It shapes how I approach every case I take.
From the Prosecutor's Table to Your Defense
Before I ever represented a defendant, I stood on the other side of the courtroom arguing for the state. I know how prosecutors think, what they prioritize, and where their cases are vulnerable. When I'm reviewing your situation, I'm not guessing at their strategy — I've lived it.
I've been practicing since 2000, and the majority of that time has been spent in Cobb County courts. I know the judges, I know the procedures, and I know what it takes to get a case resolved in a way that actually protects your future.
Recognized Credential, Not Just a Badge on a Wall
I've been named a Georgia Super Lawyer, a distinction awarded to a select percentage of attorneys through a peer nomination and independent research process. It's not something you can buy or apply for.
What You Can Expect When You Hire Me
When you call this office, you reach me — not a paralegal, not a case manager, not someone who will hand you off and check in at court. I handle my own caseload deliberately so that every client gets real attention at every stage.
I've taken on DUI cases, drug charges, domestic violence allegations, juvenile matters, and property crimes. I've seen the full range of what brings someone to a defense attorney's door, and I don't walk in with assumptions. What I do walk in with is a clear-eyed read of your situation and an honest assessment of your options.
My reputation has been built one case at a time, one client at a time. That's the only way I know how to practice law.
