Previous Employment Summary
Prior to admittance to the State Bar of Georgia, I was employed in the nuclear industry as a Senior Health Physics Technician. I was responsible for determining radiation, contamination, and airborne radioactivity, preventing personnel overexposure and personnel decontamination. I also had a career as a professional musician.
At the age of seventeen, I joined the U.S. Army and was an Infantry Squad Leader in the 4th Infantry Division (4th ID) where he was awarded the "Expert Infantryman's Badge" (EIB). He was also a graduate of "Combat Leader's School", and served as a member of the U.S. Army Mounted Color Guard and Drill Team.
What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
Clients should educate themselves on legal issues they are facing. By educating themselves, they are better able to assist their attorney in preparing and obtaining the best result in their case.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
I am certainly willing to review documents prepared "pro se."
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
I am certainly willing to coach clients wishing to precede "pro se."
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I observed several individuals over the years who did not receive the justice they deserved. I felt that the representation they received was not at the level they deserved. So I decided to become a lawyer which would allow me to provide the quality of legal representation individuals should expect.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
I have lived in ten states and spent six years in Europe. I have also represented clients from many cultures: Brazilian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Hispanic, African, Indian, Bulgarian, and other cultures. I am a very well-rounded, balanced individual with an enhanced understanding and comprehension of people from all walks of life.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
I chose my primary area of practice as a result of my observance of people who did not receive the results or justice they deserved.
What do you like best about your career?
I get to help resolve problems people face on a daily basis.
