COVID-19 Announcement The Supreme Court of TN has canceled most in-person civil hearings until April 30, 2020. Emergency matters, such as orders of protection and matters involving the abuse and neglect of children, may still be heard. Most of the state and nation is now observing stay at home and social distancing policies to stop the spread of this extremely contagious virus, which in some people, can cause hospitalization and serious respiratory symptoms. 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. Don't hesitate to call me.

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.
