Biography

I am a Vanderbilt educated lawyer living in Nashville, Tennessee, and primarily practicing in the areas of Family and Employment Law (Plaintiff's side). I have been involved in litigation since 2007, with experience in complex litigation in federal courts. When I am not working, you can find me at a Preds game or watching the University of Louisville and Vanderbilt on tv.

What impact will the NSA monitoring of communications have on attorney-client privilege? Learn about some of the potential missteps in your use of technology to ensure that your communications and work product are adequately protected, and that confidentiality is maintained throughout your representation."

Nashville Bar Association
Committee Commentator. "Learn how to not only control the focus of the jurors, but also how to control the witness in both direct and cross examination. Through watching the participants and watching through the eyes of the witness and the juror, the attorney learns what it feels like to be in those places in the courtroom in order to get a greater understanding of how to control those who sit in those places. The rising inflection (the questioning inflection) is also briefly reviewed in this section and viewers are able to observe it more thoroughly in this section."
