My Practice Areas

I have been working for clients in western Kentucky since 2006. I have tried over 50 jury trials, and won acquittals in state and federal court. I have tried cases alleging DUI, theft, white collar crime, violent offenses, sex offenses, and murder.

Criminal defense is my primary focus, but I also handle cases dealing with car wrecks, personal injury, and civil rights violations. I also handle appeals in state and federal court.

My office is located in Paducah, Kentucky. I handle cases throughout Western Kentucky and in nearby federal courts.
