I offer low cost initial consultations to thoughtfully analyze your situation and be up-front about if your situation warrants hiring a Memphis attorney. In addition, I won’t use the initial half-hour consultation solely as a sales pitch, but will analyze the issues for you and point you towards a more appropriate professional counselor or Memphis attorney if your situation warrants. I understand that I won’t be the optimal Memphis lawyer for every situation. No Memphis lawyer can be.

  If you are in any stressful situation then feel free to call me to see if an initial consultation with a Memphis attorney would be appropriate. Perhaps, there are legal options that would reduce some of the stress factors affecting you. The majority of my practice and case load can be characterized as litigation, especially in family law, which is the presentation of disputes before a third party arbiter (usually a judge) if negotiation of a mutually agreeable settlement isn't possible.  I also draft contracts and prenuptials to avoid litigation.

Family Law/Divorce - Divorce and post-divorce litigation can be one of the most involved and complex areas. I've handled child custody and other complex family law matters and I'd be glad to discuss your issues. Drafting a prenuptial can help minimize the costs of litigation.

General Litigation - If someone breaks a contract or violates your rights then litigation can be the solution.

Business Formation - From a small band negotiating a contract to a start-up trucking company seeking to create a legal structure, I'd be happy to help.

Personal Injury - Basically a form of litigation. The major difference and difficulty in picking a Memphis personal injury lawyer is that trying a personal injury case can require advancing a great deal of money. Some cases don't. I am a solo practitioner that focuses on person service. If I think your case is something my office could handle I'll try it myself but if I think I'll need help I won't hesitate to associate with a firm that has the financial resources to try your case the right way. Remember Tennessee has a one year statue of limitations for personal injury matters, so contact me or another lawyer right away if you think you might have a case.

Employment Discrimination - Unfortunately, Memphis employers can get away with quite a bit but they shouldn't get away with discriminating on the basis of gender, age, or national origin. As a Memphis lawyer, I can talk with you about timely action on your employment claims.

Appeals- When you lose a lawsuit, its not the end if you appeal within thirty days. The system is set up to ensure that Judges apply the law in a routine manner.

Basic Fee Schedule - I believe in being open and upfront about my fees and the fact that I am in the legal business.

FAQ's - Questions frequently asked about me and my Memphis Lawyer site.

My Blogs - My blog of my life in Memphis as lawyer and person with both legal and non-legal content. Has reviews of various things I've tried in and around Memphis and traveling.

LINKS - Links to useful resources and interesting pages.
