I am a 1992 graduate of Emory Law School. After clerking for the Honorable Stanley F. Birch, United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, I joined Bondurant Mixson & Elmore, where I have very happily spent my career with smart lawyers and good people. After over 25 years, I love this work more than ever.

My practice emphasizes high-stakes appeals in the federal circuit courts, as well as the appellate courts of Georgia. I represent both plaintiffs and defendants in large-exposure appeals involving business torts, contract disputes, federal statutory claims (particularly antitrust, consumer class action and RICO cases), catastrophic injury and wrongful death. I am a founding member of Georgia’s State Bar Appellate Practice Section, a member of the Eleventh Circuit Historical Society, and a veteran invitee to appear in the annual demonstration argument presented at the Eleventh Circuit Appellate Practice Institute (ECAPI).
