Claimed Lawyer Profile
Biography

I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mineral Engineering for several mineral production companies. Afterward had gone to school for my MBA and subsequently obtained my law degree. I have worked as a lawyer for a little over 20 years, however, I worked as a paralegal for 7 1/2 prior thereto.

During these many years I have never learned of another lawyer with a mineral engineering degree. I urge you to check your future attorney's qualifications before engaging him, i.e. WOULD YOU HIRE A FOOT DOCTOR TO HAVE YOUR TEETH FIXED!

I have been the lead attorney for approximately 250 trials. Again, check your future attorney's qualifications!

My father and I have operated a free youth club for 52 years. I am a very honest and giving person like he was.
