ABOUT
ROCK CITY DEFENDER
At Rock City Defender, my mission is simple: to protect, defend, and advocate for people across Arkansas when they need it most. I built this firm with the belief that everyone deserves access to strong legal representation—whether you’re facing criminal charges, struggling to secure veterans’ benefits, or preparing an estate plan for your family.
Legal problems can feel overwhelming. They don’t just affect your case file—they affect your freedom, your health, your finances, and your loved ones. That’s why I approach every client as more than just a case number. I listen to your story, explain your options in clear and simple terms, and fight to protect your future.
What Makes Rock City Defender Different
This isn’t a typical law practice. My path to becoming an attorney was shaped by years of service and experience outside the legal field—experiences that continue to guide the way I serve my clients.
- Veteran-Owned: As a proud Marine Corps veteran, I know what it means to serve, and I carry that same commitment to duty into every case. I also have a deep understanding of the unique challenges veterans face when dealing with the VA system.
- Medical Background: Before law school, I worked in medicine as a physician assistant. That background gives me valuable insight into cases involving health, trauma, and injury—especially in criminal defense and veterans’ disability claims.

- Prosecutor Experience: Having served as a prosecutor in Little Rock and Pulaski County, I understand how the government builds its cases. I now use that knowledge to anticipate the other side’s strategy and craft stronger defenses for my clients.
- Inclusive and Compassionate: My practice is built on values of inclusion, dignity, and respect. I have a heart for serving the marginalized and those who often feel overlooked by the legal system.
