Legal Services & Lawyers

Born in Meyersdale, Pennsylvania; practiced mental health/chemical dependency nursing before entering law school; admitted to Ohio Bar, 1988; U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio, 1988.

I've lived in the Miami Valley my entire life. I was born in Union City, Indiana. I received my undergraduate degree at Morehead State University in Kentucky and my law degree at the University of Dayton. My favorite recreation is motorcycle touring. I also love to read and study history. Bible study is a favorite of mine. You don't want to get me started or I'll talk your head off. I have worked with special needs children for 24 years within the legal setting, in juvenile and domestic relations court involving custody disputes. I like people and know and understand their problems, as you can tell from the areas in which I practice. You will find me a good listener. My clients are actively involved in their cases, so be prepared to do some work. I share offices with my good friend, R. Jason Howard. We often collaborate on cases to better serve you, at no additional charge.
