COVID-19 Announcement
Due to the pandemic, courts have slowed down tremendously and  although more in-person hearings are occuring, masks are required.   Courts are also using video methods such as zoom and webex for less complicated hearings.  Please keep your families  safe and healthy during this time.    My office remains open to  help you through consultations and mediations by telephone or zoom.

Experience you can trust.   You can depend on me for a prompt response.
I have been a trial lawyer for 23 years and once you become my client, I will fight hard to get the results you want.    I have an active practice in Hamilton County, TN, but can take cases in other counties if needed.    The types of cases I handle are varied, and include the following:
  • custody--parent vs. parent, and grandparent vs. parent
  • visitation cases
  • DCS investigations
  • abuse and neglect cases
  • sexual abuse cases​
  • post-divorce modifications
  • paternity suits
  • child support
  • adoptions
  • grandparent visitation
  • dependency and neglect cases
  • juvenile delinquency cases
  • administrative hearings, including DCS fair hearings and Tenn Care appeals
  • ​mediations
  • misdemeanor criminal cases​

As a Child Welfare Law Specialist,  I receive regular court appointments as a Guardian ad LItem in Hamilton County Circuit, Chancery and Juvenile Courts.  In Tennessee, Guardian ad LItems are court appointed attorneys who advocate for the best interests of children during high conflict cases.
