Unique Defense Experience That Works For You

The Morgan Quitno list of the Top 25 Most Dangerous Cities of 2007 ranked Jackson as the ninth most dangerous metropolitan area in the United States. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or a felony in Tennessee, allow my litigation experience to build a defense that could work for you. I handle the defense of these and other crimes:

I am a former prosecutor with experience as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney. I understand how a prosecutor might approach your case, and how they will present their case in court. I know how to counter prosecutors’ tactics to achieve positive outcomes. Contact me today for a consultation to discuss your case.
