Taking care of my client is what I do best. I dedicate my time to you. I obtained my BS degree from Trevecca University’s Physician Assistant program in 1983. Afterwards, I obtained by Doctorate of Jurisprudence from John Marshall Law School and started practicing law.
I am admitted to practice law in the State and Federal Courts of Georgia, the Eastern District of Tennessee and the US Court of Appeals for the Six Circuit. I currently practice in the Northern, Middle and Southern Districts of Georgia, as well as, the Eastern District of Tennessee.
I have more than 20 years of experience preparing and filing thousands of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 petitions in the above locations. In 2005, I met all the rigorous educational requirements and became certified as a specialist in Consumer Bankruptcy, which is governed by the American Board of Certification. In 2006, I began working as in house counsel for the Chapter 13 Trustee, gaining a world of experience and knowledge. In 2010, I returned to the private practice of law.
I possess sophisticated knowledge of the federal Bankruptcy Code. It is important to me to provide exceptional and personal service to my clients. That is why I devote the necessary time, talent and resources to each and every one of my clients. Being dedicated to my clients requires me to meet with each and everyone so that I might personally discuss your concerns and goals to determine your best course of action. I want to be there for you when, the stress and anxiety of overwhelming debts causes you to lose sleep or affects your ability to lead a normal life. Through personal legal counseling with thousands of individuals, I have often found that bankruptcy protection may be the best resolution to your financial struggle. Getting you back on target to take care of what is most precious to you, your family.
I have a lovely wife, Amanda, who works diligently by my side, as my paralegal. She proudly shares the same standard of values toward our clients as I do. Amanda possesses invaluable knowledge in bankruptcy and served as a paralegal for the United States Trustee’s Office in Chattanooga Tennessee.
When we are not working or going to conferences, we enjoy cycling, camping and most of all sailing.
