Henderson Civil Litigation Lawyer
Overview
I am proud to call Henderson my home. I graduated from Henderson County High School, where I was a member of the basketball, track, and speech teams, and I'm a member of the Academic Hall of Fame. I then received a scholarship to attend Duke University, before the rivalry with my home state's school began (yes, I have caught much flack since then, but I am a Blue Devil at heart). After finishing law school at the University of Cincinnati, I practiced for a couple of years in Ohio before returning home to raise my four children with my beautiful wife, Emily.
I love helping people, and I love matching wits in court against big-firm and big-company attorneys. I represent people who are hurt - sometimes very badly hurt or killed - through no fault of their own. When I stand before juries and argue cases for my clients, I tell juries that in a court of law, all parties are equal, even if the people on the other side are insurance companies or other big corporations. My team and I provide clients with "big city" legal services, even though we are located in a small town. We fight for our clients in a professional, aggressive, but compassionate manner.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
