Divorce and Family Law

As a family law attorney, I understand the intense emotions and feelings of uncertainty that are natural in a divorce. You want to put the whole matter behind you but find yourself stumbling through a legal maze. Divorce can be very complicated, and done wrong, it can come back to haunt you.

I will work hard for you to negotiate a fair settlement that protects your house and other valuable assets — or, whenever necessary, I will fight for your interests in court. With your needs and goals in mind, I will work with you to develop a sound strategy to safeguard your interests and provide for your children.
I handle a wide variety of related family law issues, including:

Paternity, Child Custody and Visitation

I am zealous about making sure your children’s best interests are foremost in every decision. Allow me to guide you through the legal process to arrange legal custody, physical custody and visitation options that are best for you and your family. When necessary, I can also petition the court on your behalf to determine paternity and then work toward establishing fair arrangements that protect both your child’s well-being and your rights as a parent.

Child Support

I can help you develop child support arrangements that comply with state guidelines, promote your children’s welfare, and are fair to you as a parent.

Juvenile Court Litigation

As a long-time member of Memphis' local Juvenile Defender Board, I know firsthand how important it is for you to see your young person get their life back on track. If your child faces a delinquency charge, I will sit down with you to explore options and then work passionately with you to safeguard their future.

I am ready to take up your cause in a variety of other family law issues as well, including contempt petitions, dependent neglect, orders of protection, post-divorce modifications, mediation, and name changes.

Personal Injury

Accidents can happen at any time. Even a seemingly minor auto mishap can cause painful back and neck injuries that require time in the hospital and time off from work. Having to fight for compensation can add to your stress and prolong your recovery.

As an experienced, hard-working attorney, I approach complex personal injury cases with a simple philosophy — I bend over backward to make sure you always get the representation you need.
I am ready and able to help you through a broad variety of personal injury cases, including:
  • Motor vehicle accidents (autos, 18-wheelers, etc.)
  • Medical malpractice (a doctor’s mistake, a surgical or emergency room error, or a misdiagnosis)
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Slip-and-fall injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Dog bites and animal attacks

Wrongful death

When you are coping with the tragic, wrongful death of a loved one, the last thing you need is the distraction of a legal dispute. I can be there for you to provide the legal support your family will need, as I take the time to listen, explain and do everything necessary to get your family the relief you deserve.

Landlord Rights

Disputes with tenants can get very stressful and intense, costing you time and money that could otherwise be invested in your rental property. Don’t try to interpret the law on your own. Get help and guidance from an attorney who has a long track record of protecting landlord rights.
I have represented Memphis landlords and management companies since 2000, and my experience covers a wide range of successfully handled cases, including:
  • Eviction
  • Unlawful detainer warrants
  • Damage to units
  • Violation of property rules
  • Violations of leases
  • Refusal to pay rent for cause
  • Security deposit disputes
I represent management companies and real estate investors in their efforts to effectively resolve disputes with tenants in single and multiunit apartments.

Are you considering investing in rental property? Get your real estate venture off to a strong start by letting me evaluate your deal, help you determine the best business entity to form, and create an effective lease.

There are specific state and federal laws that landlords must follow, and they can seem complicated and even intimidating. With my insight into these laws, I can help you avoid or resolve disputes in a way that not only saves you money but perhaps even saves your relationship with the tenant as well.
