Biography

I joined the Woodstock office of Meriwether & Tharp, LLC in January 2016, after having my office in Cobb County since 1996. My practice area has always included all counties in the North Metro Atlanta area, as well as Fulton County and the City of Atlanta. I do my best to represent my clients in a diligent and professional manner. I do this by providing them with my best advice for their particular situation, based upon my knowledge of the law and my many years of experience in Divorce and Family Law. All cases are different, but they generally follow certain themes and trends, and my experience allows me to detect those themes and trends and develop the best approach for a particular client.

I work hard for all of my clients, and I will welcome the chance to assist you in the areas of Divorce and Family Law.
