Summary

Skilled litigation and trial lawyer, offering a deep understanding of legal procedures and trial strategy. Having tried over 90 cases to a verdict, I know my way around a courtroom. I have tried my cases to verdict and handled all appeals after judgment, having argued before the North Carolina Court of Appeals, the North Carolina Supreme Court, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. I believe I have a great ability to communicate in writing, succinctly and directly. I am a strong analytical thinker with aptitude for identifying key legal issues quickly and effectively communicating them to clients and colleagues.
