I counsel a wide array of clients, from electric and nuclear utilities, to debt collectors, to landlords. I also have experience advising small and publicly traded businesses (and their subsidiaries) regarding international trade, including the importation, exportation, and sale of goods, as well as issues arising from foreign trade zones.

I work in areas of law experiencing rapid change. I find staying on top of a moving target, while finding solutions for clients in truly uncertain areas, rewarding.

Though I spend my days in the office practicing law, I remain an active composer and advocate for the arts. I sit on the Board of Directors for the Alabama Symphony Orchestra (ASO) and co-founded the ASO's Junior Patrons. Helping the ASO provide Birmingham and Alabama world class music and composing works for professional and amateur ensembles alike is a true passion of mine.

Consumer protections statutes such as the FDCPA, TCPA, and the new TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule (TRID) have opended up a flood of consumer-driven lawsuits. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have made compliance with these statutes fluid, changing the rules with increased frequency. I already work with businesses directly affected by the FDCPA and TCPA, but I think businesses of all walks of life will find themselves impacted by the CFPB and FCC in the coming years.
