Since 1980, I have dedicated my career to serving the legal needs of people throughout Dalton and Northwest Georgia. I spent my first nine years representing insurance companies, an experience that gave me invaluable "behind-the-scenes" insight into how they handle claims. For the last 21 years, I have used that knowledge to advocate for individuals injured in auto, motorcycle, and tractor-trailer accidents. My practice isn’t limited to personal injury; I also handle civil rights violations, business disputes, and mediation. Having managed over 1,000 vehicular collision cases, I am at home in any courtroom, from local Georgia superior courts to the United States Supreme Court. My firm is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell, reflecting our commitment to high ethical standards and success. We’ve secured over 50 results exceeding $100,000, including a landmark $6.75 million recovery. I also serve as a regional vice president of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. We focus on helping average people navigate extraordinary problems, often working on a contingency basis so that if we don’t win, you don’t pay. Our goal is simply to be the best at what we do for our neighbors.
