Longtime member of the Tennessee Bar, having practiced law in 66 of the 95 Counties in Tennessee. I am known for my expertise in Deeds, Titles and Boundary Disputes. In most Criminal matters prior to Trial, I conduct demanding Preliminary Hearings and present numerous Defenses including Motions To Suppress Evidence, and Discovery of the State's Witnesses and Evidence. Statutes of Limitations are always examined. And in Probate matters, Court Administration OR NOT is carefully examined prior to filing such. If Probate can be avoided, then other Title authorities and Property Transfer methods are pursued.
I am admitted to, and have actually practiced before, the Tennessee Supreme Court, Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals, Tennessee Court of Appeals, United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee and the United States Tax Court.
Unlike most attorneys and title companies, I am capable of drafting precise Deeds and Easements with new Legal Descriptions from one or more Survey plats, with comprehensive Derivation of Title clauses and Habendum clauses. And my Practice often involves Title Searches, Boundary Line Disputes, Deeds of any type, and Quiet Title Actions. My Estate Planning Practice includes Wills, Future Interest Conveyances, Trusts, and Probate Administration. Additionally I prosecute Will Contests, Foreclosures, and Land Partition Suits. In Criminal Cases, my Clients do not hire me just to plead them Guilty to the original charges.
I am a Retired Field Artillery Officer with the TNARNG and USA. I executed Fire Missions with Cannons, MLRS Rockets & ATACMS Missiles. As a Targeting Officer, I directed the employment of Q-37 and Q-36 Weapon Locating Radars. And I was a Nuclear Weapon Officer for 155 mm and 8 inch Artillery in the 2nd Armored Division. As a QRF .50 BMG gunner in the Iraq War, I was awarded the Combat Action Badge.

- Questions Answered
- Q. Can a judgment be changed w/o defendant notified for Probation violation that has not been to court?
- A: His Sentence would probably have been 11 mo/ 29 days, with 30 days to serve on work release. But new charges violated the probation. Nothing unusual here, just that he is involved in many crimes and they are starting to prosecute him. More charges may follow. I doubt work release will ever be an option again. His lawyer could ask for WR fees to be returned, or better, applied to other Court Costs. When he gets out he needs a job and a new phone with number changed.
- Q. Criminal Law. So there is 12 ppl on a federal indictment and every one except one person is taking a plea but one person
- A: Noone can know what is the best voluntary disposition without being his lawyer and investigating his Case. Defendant and his lawyer need to investigate the disclosed facts, examine witnesses and prepare for trial. The lawyer should also examine the possible federal Sentences involved. Then Defendant can make his decision whether to try it and probably appeal it, or go to prison now under a possible range of months that the Judge decides.
- Q. My name was removed from my 50 acre ranch without my knowledge or permission by my estranged girlfriend.(Oklahoma)
- A: Hire a competent OK attorney that litigates real property now. Causes of Actions include setting aside a fraudulent deed, suing the notary and her surety on the notary bond, and conversion. Criminal sanctions may lie, but your lawyer can only pursue civil remedies. Try to ascertain all witnesses, and you have to sue all interested parties as they are indispensable.
