What do you find most exciting about your work?

As a litigator, I am grateful to be trusted to represent my clients and thoroughly enjoy interacting and working closely with them to develop strategies, set goals, and resolve litigation matters.
How are you involved in your community?

Born and raised in Gulfport, Mississippi, I am passionate about the entire Gulf Coast community and the state of Mississippi. Gulfport is experiencing exponential growth and is making immense strides towards recovery in the years since Hurricane Katrina. By working directly with municipal leaders to bring investors and new businesses to our city, our community continues to thrive and bring new business and economic opportunities to the Gulf Coast.
What types of clients do you represent?

I represent individuals, small, privately-held businesses, and various state and federal agencies in general litigation matters, including business matters, real property litigation, statutory interpretation and application, and contract disputes.
