I became a criminal defense lawyer because I hate injustice. I have experienced too much of it in my own life, and I know what it feels like. Many prosecutors get into criminal defense to make more money. Their hearts aren't in it. They still refer to the accused as "those people." Not me. I don't go to trial to "protect my client's rights" I go to save their lives. I go to win. In 1996 I attended my first trial practice college in Macon, Georgia, the National Crimianl Defense College. After that I attended the Western Trial Advocacy Institute in 2001. In 2003 I was selected along with 49 other lawyers from around the country to attend Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College. This is a three week program held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This experience gave me the ability to connect with clients, witnesses and most importantly juries. I continue to spend 2-3 weeks a year traveling and training with great trial lawyers around the country.

There is no greater responsibility than to have a person's life in your hands. I consider the defense a "calling." I have tried over 115 jury trials for the defense. I have the experience, the training, and the judgement to help you.
