For the first 18 years of my practice, I handled complex litigation on behalf of corporate America. I worked as a lawyer representing automotive manufacturers such as Nissan, Honda and General Motors throughout the country in products liability litigation. That’s why I bring a different perspective to cases because I know how they view cases, what strategies they may try, and how they evaluate cases. It permits him to anticipate how they will react to certain claims and know the potential moves before they even happen. I realized my true calling was in helping those who had been injured and wronged so 19 years ago,I began handling products liability cases and other complex litigation on behalf of plaintiffs. This has included cases against automotive manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. The ability to fight for someone who has had significant tragedy in their life and be able to provide them some hope for the future has been an incredible gift of this journey. I’m proud to have received Top 10 Attorney Award from National Academy of Personal injury Lawyers as well to have been appointed to Alabama Bar Disciplinary Committee. In my free time I love exercising and am an avid tennis player. I adore spending time with my wife and 2 sons.

Even after 15 years, I’m still driven by my desire to help the underprivileged. With every new client, I see the opportunity to help them beyond the courtroom. My heart is always in improving my skills for the betterment of the community. This has led to my passions out of the court room including donating to both St. Jude & ASPCA Guardian, doing mock trial workshops and helping to lead the “Bring Back UAB Football” lobbying group that visited the Montgomery Statehouse every two weeks while the legislature was in term.

I’ve been a lawyer for 13 years. I began my career representing corporations and insurance companies and quickly found that my mindset is much more geared to helping the individual rather than the corporation. I realized that I wanted to help those who could not help themselves. I work hard to make sure I’m at my best for my clients. I am a member of the Board for Heart Galleries of Alabama. I love spending time with my family, my wife Leslie, my daughter Abby and my two sons Miles and Reid.
