I represent sand companies, respiratory protection manufacturers and suppliers, and sandblasting equipment manufacturers and distributors in silica litigation. I also serve as employment law counsel for a variety of entities, including manufacturing facilities, school systems, insurance companies, retail businesses, and charitable organizations.

I have the honor of representing our clients in multiple capacities. During my career, I have worked with of countless companies defending product liability claims, including everything from medical device, pharmaceutical to asbestos litigation. For more than a decade, I have focused my product liability practice primarily on defending clients in silica litigation. I have defended thousands of silica cases across the Southeast.

In my labor and employment practice, I have more than two decades of experience in both state and federal court, as well as before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Department of Labor (DOL), and state departments of employment security. I advise clients on hiring, employment contracts, accommodations for disabilities, requests for leave, workers’ compensation, discipline, terminations, wrongful termination, severance packages, discrimination, harassment, covenants not to compete, and claims for unemployment benefits. I litigate employment matters involving claims made under Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), §1983 and the Labor Management Relations Act (LMRA).

One of the most rewarding things about practicing law is the relationships we form with our clients. I enjoy getting to know clients, learning what matters most to them, and working together with them to solve problems. I have always been committed to developing collaborative relationships with my clients. What comes out of these close collaborations is effective and efficient representation through all stages of litigation.

I am frequently in state courts in towns throughout Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas, but you can also find me in courthouses in large metropolitan areas as well as in federal courts throughout the Southeast. When I represent clients in administrative matters, it is usually before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
