Attorney Information
Overview
I grew up in Jacksonville, North Carolina. I graduated from East Carolina University in 2010 B.S. in Criminal Justice and a Minor in History. I attended law school at Charlotte School of Law and graduated with a J.D. in 2014 and passed the North Carolina Bar Exam that same year. After passing the bar and becoming licensed, I moved back to Jacksonville, NC to begin work at Lanier, Fountain & Ceruzzi, a firm founded by my father, to continue the family's legal legacy as a third generation lawyer.
I enjoy helping clients resolve their legal issues by providing a combination of legal and practical advice so clients can resolve their legal issue and, hopefully, avoid problems in the future. These problems cover various fields of law to include, but not limited to, general civil law, criminal law (misdemeanors/felonies), commercial/business transactions, real estate (residential & commercial), incompetency/guardianship, contracts/contract disputes, domestic violence protective orders, restraining orders, boundary line disputes, material-men/mechanic's liens, debt collection, traffic violations, and DWI.
