Welcome to My Webpage

Nestled in the rolling hills of east central Alabama, is the place I affectionately call home. The loveliest village on the plains. Auburn. God's country. This is home to some of the greatest football to be found anywhere, a world class university, and some of the finest people you would ever want to meet. That's why I choose to live and practice law in Lee County, Alabama. As a member of both the Florida and Alabama Bars I hope to offer the people and businesses here top quality legal services and a friendly working relationship.

At some point, almost everyone needs a lawyer...

Unfortunately, most people are intimidated at the thought and the process of seeing one. That need not be the case. It should be a tolerable situation and one that proves satisfying. We strive to  provide a comfortable atmosphere so that you can relax and fully explain your concerns.

Seeing an attorney should be relaxing. It can be a relief to find someone who shares your system of beliefs, wants to do things the right way, and, like yourself, wants to do things in a morally and ethically correct manner. Unfortunately, the world has become very complicated and overly sophisticated these days. For example, just take a look at the Internal Revenue Code. It's thicker than three King James Bibles (even without its regulations).

Trust is the operative word when seeking an attorney. Because matters are now so complicated, the normal person doesn't know where to turn to take care of the ordinary legal matters they face.

It has long been my personal and professional philosophy to keep a client's legal business confidential, simple and easy to understand. "Confidentiality" is a maxim of the utmost importance in dealing with a client's business and personal affairs. Lawyers get removed from practice for violating this principle. "Simplicity" is another important factor in dealing with a client's business. The client is not well-served if they have more problems when leaving the lawyer's office than before they came in. We try our best to keep your matters as smooth and streamlined as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes this is not possible due to exigent circumstances. "Easy to Understand" is the idea that the client should be able to remember what it is that the lawyer did and why he did it three months after their last visit to the lawyer's office.

I have sought to limit my practice to three main areas of focus. Those are Real Estate, Estate Planning, and Business Entities. All of these areas are necessarily and closely tied together. It is nearly impossible to practice one without practicing in all three. I practice in these areas because they interest me the most.

Through limiting my practice to these areas, I hope to help the ordinary person when these needs arise in their life. All of my continuing education has been focused in this realm. I was admitted to the Alabama Bar in 1983 and was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1996. From 1983 to 1985, I was with the U.S. Justice Department where I received extensive litigation education. After that, I went into private practice hoping to utilize my litigation experience with these areas of business law. It is my purpose to continue building my practice with the intention of trying to help my clients with all of their legal needs.
