I am dedicated to my clients.  I have served clients in courts throughout Virginia; from Winchester to Arlington, from Newport News to Fairfax.  I have litigated cases in both federal and state courts.  My practice areas include personal injury, civil rights, car accidents, slip and fall, business disputes, contract formation, transactions, and consultation.  

​

But I provide so much more than paperwork to my clients.  

​

In 2001 to 2005, I served in the United States Army.  After I exited the service, I attended Wayne State University and earned two Bachelors of Arts, one in Political Science and another in Philosophy.  I then graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law and was admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 2013.  

​

In the past I have volunteered to assist veterans with their disability claims and appeals, and I assisted the ill and elderly with wills, trusts, and advanced medical directives.  

​

Presently, my primary focus is on litigation and making complex legal problems seem simple and painless for my clients.
