Legal Experience

As an attorney, I have provided guidance and assistance pertaining to the legal circumstances of my clients throughout Little Rock since 1996. At the beginning of my career, I worked at the Center for Arkansas Legal Service where I handled divorce cases, custody cases, child support, visitation, consumer law, social security, eviction case, juvenile law with an emphasis on adoption, custody, guardianship, and dependency-neglect cases. I currently represent juveniles charged with crimes in Perry and Pulaski Counties, including individuals charged with first degree murder, manslaughter, other felonies, misdemeanors and truancy.

I teach at William H. Bowen Law School as an Adjunct Professor and the Criminal Justice Institute as a Certified Law Enforcement Instructor.

I am also a Certified Dependency-Neglect and Domestic Relations Attorney Ad Litem.
