Proven excellence in Criminal Law, DUI and Divorce Law

10+ Years of Experience

I have the proven experience and skill to get the results you want and need in court and in all parts of the court process. With 24 years of experience as a trial lawyer I have handled all aspects of court. I know what it takes to give you the representation you need. I provide unmatched skill and experience to my clients and enjoy doing so. I focus on criminal defense, DUI defense, divorce and child custody law. I’ve been a prosecutor and part time judge, so I have excellent experience from all sides. I am a Statesboro native and second generation lawyer, with deep connection to Statesboro and the surrounding communities. I have represented clients in this area for over two decades in all aspects of court, including over 100 jury trials in Superior and State Courts, in felonies, misdemeanors, and civil cases. So, if it needs to be done right for your representation in the court process I know how to do it and will do it well and do it the right way. I am diligent and aggressive and have expert strategy to navigate your case in and out of the courtroom based on my experience and knowledge of the laws, procedures, and people involved. I have proven results in all types of cases. I have expertise in all types of criminal matters, divorce, child custody, and other family law disputes.
It’s not just about what you do, it’s sometimes how you do it that matters the most, and that’s how I approach things, and I do so with skill and experience that is unmatched in the areas I practice.
Everyone makes mistakes, but it’s what you do in response that matters, so call on me to give you the representation you need.
