Biography

2005 - JD Degree - Mississippi College School of Law
2001 - BSBA - University of Southern Mississippi

I am a lifelong resident of Mississippi and grew up in the capital city. Once I received my law degree in 2005, I begin working with Vic Carmody Jr., P.A. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to successfully represent individuals charged with criminal offenses throughout Mississippi. The individuals charged ranges from simple misdemeanor traffic offenses to felony murder charges. Regardless of the severity of the offense, I will fight for a successful resolution to your case.

I have been admitted to practice law in all state courts which include justice, municipal, county and circuit courts. Further, I have been admitted to practice in both the Northern and Southern Federal District Courts of Mississippi. In 2010, I was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. The list of places I have had the privilege of conducted trials is extensive.

I look forward to the opportunity to assist you in your pending or future legal matter. My goal is to be better prepared that then prosecuting attorney by knowing the facts of your case, the law as it relates to your case, and having a plan of attack that allows you to have your best possible day in court.
