Personal Injury

If you get hurt, and it's not all your fault, I'm here to help—no matter how you got hurt. Sometimes, when people get hurt, they face even more problems because they don't get enough money to pay for things like their medical bills and fixing their stuff that was damaged. You deserve to be treated fairly and to get the right amount of money to make up for what you lost. Insurance companies and far too many people care more about making money than taking responsibility for what happened to you. I'm here to make sure that you get what you should.

Car and 18 Wheeler Crashes

After a car crash, and especially after an 18-wheeler crash, it's extremely important to get a good lawyer involved quickly. I put an incredible amount of time, and resources into these cases as they are extremely difficult and complex. I understand how much being in a vehicular crash can change your life and I am committed to helping you and your family through this tragic time and getting you all that you deserve.

Wrongful Death: Seeking Justice and Financial Relief

Coping with the loss of a loved one is never easy, especially when it's due to someone else's reckless actions. You shouldn't have to give up the right to financial recovery during such a tough time. Managing the financial responsibilities your loved one left behind can be challenging for you and your family. No one should face loss, sadness, and new debts because of someone else's terrible mistake.

I understand that dealing with the legal side of a wrongful death can seem overwhelming. However, when it comes to these lawsuits, I approach them with care and compassion, working hard to reach a proper resolution and help you on the path to recovery.

Motorcycle Crashes: A Personal Commitment

I've been riding since I was a kid and know that motorcycle crashes almost always result in severe injuries. I understand this firsthand—I was hurt pretty bad due to a negligent driver and know how a motorcycle wreck can change a person’s life in the blink of an eye. Whether you're dealing with pain, medical expenses, or lost pay, my goal is to get you compensated and ease these burdens.

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or medical professional fails to provide proper care, leading to patient injury, loss of function, or death. Clinical negligence, or medical negligence, involves claims against healthcare professionals and their employers.

Effects of Medical Malpractice

Every year, people in Tennessee are injured due to medical mistakes. Nationwide, experts estimate that over 250,000 people die annually because of errors or misdiagnoses in medical care. A non-profit group for consumer rights states that negligence causes over 1 million injuries in the U.S. each year.

If you have been harmed by a medical mistake, you have the right to compensation for both current and potential future losses.

Recovering from Sexual Abuse

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual abuse, I'm committed to standing by your side throughout this process.

Eminent Domain and Your Rights

Eminent domain, or condemnation, is a legal process embodied in the Constitution. It allows public and private groups to take your land for projects like highways, libraries, or hospitals. To take your land, they must demonstrate that the "taking" is necessary for public use, and they must pay "just compensation."

However, the authorities taking your land rarely value it correctly. The price they must pay must account for its "highest and best use," as required by Tennessee law. Don't give in to pressure from some so-called official with an "urgent offer." You have rights protected by the United States Constitution. Never sign anything without legal review. In this complex proceeding, involving an experienced lawyer early can only maximize your position.
