As a skilled Nashville Military Lawyer with a wide range of experience in family law and criminal defense, I provide legal services to clients throughout Middle Tennessee, as well as Montgomery and Davidson Counties. I will travel anywhere in Tennessee to represent clients in civilian courts, and am also well-equipped to represent clients at USDC Court on Fort Campbell.

As a former JAG, I handle cases for military clients and their family members located at Fort Campbell and throughout the World. I am also dedicated to helping clients with specialized military law problems. I am willing to travel anywhere in the world to defend soldiers in Courts-Martial, Administrative Separation Boards and Medical Evaluation Boards. I have handled military cases in Kentucky, Mississippi, Illinois, Kuwait and Iraq.

I served as a trial defense counsel in Region III Trial Defense Services at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. During that time, I represented clients charged with a wide range of criminal offenses. I have also served as a Trial Counsel with 2BCT at Fort Campbell, conducting courts-martial as a prosecutor.

Courts-martial are an extremely specialized form of criminal trial. I have been on both sides of the court room as a prosecutor and defense counsel.

As a skilled Nashville Divorce Attorney, I am also adept at handling family law issues for both military and civilian clients. A divorce, child custody case or other family law case does not always have to be a traumatic, combative experience. Even when the issues are complex, your future is at stake and emotions are running high, I will work hard to protect your legal rights while avoiding unnecessary conflict and stress.

As an experienced Nashville Family Law Attorney, I guide clients through such issues as:

• Divorce
• Property and Debt Division
• Prenuptial Agreements
• Child Custody
• Child Support
• Jurisdictional Issues
• Spousal Support (Alimony)
• Divorce Mediation
• Paternity
• Estate Planning
• Elder Law

As an experienced Nashville Criminal Defense Lawyer, I am both a skilled negotiator and a successful trial attorney. I have a strong record of success representing clients in numerous bench and jury trials. When you contact my office, you won’t be passed off to a paralegal, as with some larger firms. If I agree to represent you, I will handle your case personally. I am highly attentive to my clients’ needs and personal concerns. I am committed to providing effective, discreet and reasonably priced legal representation in criminal law proceedings.

If you have been accused of a crime, the decisions you make now can literally affect the rest of your life. The strength of your defense should be assessed by an attorney who fully understands the unique facts of your case and who knows how the law applies to your circumstances. Only then can you make the critical decisions that will protect your future. As a skilled Nashville Criminal Attorney, I will help you make these important decisions.
