I was born in Houma, Louisiana and grew up in Sugar Land, Texas (outside of Houston). Over the years, I’ve lived and worked in Austin, New York, and Nashville. I now call Charlotte, North Carolina home.

My wife, Jennifer, and I have three beautiful kids . . . and I can’t forget my boy, Bleu, our dog.

Sometimes a client’s case must go to trial to get the result the client wants. Sometimes not. Offering good counsel requires understanding the client’s intended destination and knowing the road ahead.

As a trial lawyer, I evaluate each client’s case for trial at the outset and regularly reevaluate the case as things change. Throughout our engagement, I use the case evaluation to advise the client on how and when to resolve the dispute in their favor—always prepared for trial.

Over the years, I’ve tried cases before judges and juries and argued appeals in state and federal courts. I’ve also handled arbitrations with AAA, FINRA, and the ICC. As a seasoned litigator, I know how to effectively navigate the process, assess risks and benefits, and regularly communicate all this to the client.

At all stages, my goal is to provide my clients with high-value, strategic advice, as well as practical, cost-effective solutions to resolve their dispute in a way that makes sense for them.
