Attorney Profile

I am a native of Swansboro North Carolina, which is a quaint fishing village on our coast set in between Jacksonville and Morehead City.  I graduated from Swansboro High School in 1996 and I moved to Wilmington, and attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where I received a Bachelor’s of Arts in Political Science in 2000.    In 2003 I entered the Albert L. Turner School of Law at North Carolina Central University in Durham.  I graduated in 2006 with a Juris Doctor.   During law school I relocated my family to Atkinson, Pender County.  I opened up my Law Practice there in 2008.  My three kids and I love the small town atmosphere and the close proximity to everything. 

 As an attorney I am committed to being fair and honest to my clients, and to the Court.  I strive to never, over promise and always do what I say I will.  As your attorney I will work hard to achieve the best results for your situation. 

 I live and work in Atkinson.  A VERY small town, which I love.  However, due to its small size and the fact that I am the only attorney I have a general practice.  While I don’t practice everything—such as family law I do have a fairly diverse practice.  I work in both Pender and New Hanover Counties. 

 As a small town lawyer I handle traffic matters such as speeding tickets, driving on a revoked license, DUIs and BUIs (boating while under the influence).

I also do criminal defense work in Pender and New Hanover Counties. 

 I write wills and do estate probate and administration and planning.

 I also handle some business law issues such as incorporations, LLC’s and drafting contracts, mechanics and materialmens liens as well.

 I can also do Social Security Disability Law. 

I also frequently work as a sellers or buyers attorney for Real Estate transactions.
