After receiving my law degree from the University of Texas Law School in 1972, I spent four years as an officer in the US Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps. In the Navy I worked as a defense counsel and as a prosecutor in a wide variety of court martials. After leaving the Navy I took a position as an assistant district attorney in New Bern, North Carolina, regularly trying cases in both the district and superior courts. I left that position in 1979 and since that time I have been in private practice in New Bern.

Over a quarter of a century of private practice has taught me that all lawyers are not created equal. Be careful. Look for character, reputation, experience, skill, service and price.

Ask others about me. I am known in this community and in all of the local courts. You can be confident that your case will be handled professionally and to your advantage. Let's work together to develop a strategy that is best suited to your individual needs.

I look forward to hearing from you.
