I enjoyed my time with Young Williams. However, I missed the practice of law, particularly the problem solving that comes with attorney client relationships.

I have more than two decades experience in all Mississippi courts. I managed my own practice for many years, handling all cases from intake to conclusion. I have excellent professional relationships with all judicial and court personnel. I have handled a wide variety of cases and I have tried more than two dozen jury trials to conclusion as solo counsel.
