You've come to the right place
Born and raised in Hickory, North Carolina.
While a newly licensed attorney, I have a wealth of experience in the legal field. Prior to becoming licensed, I was a NC Bar Certified Paralegal for twelve years. During my time as a paralegal, I worked on family law, criminal law, civil law, and intellectual property matters from inception through completion.
As an attorney, I have chosen to make my focus family law, criminal law, expunctions, Wills, and Powers of Attorney. These are matters I feel have the biggest impact on lives. As such, I want to offer support and counsel to those who are faced with such matters.
My belief is that all people should be treated equally. I promise to fight for you as I would myself or my family.
Committed to helping our clients succeed!
