Years in practice: 30
Best known for: Being honest and trustworthy, and for developing expertise in my practice areas over three decades.
Why I chose my practice area: I love going to court, analyzing case facts and issues, and finding the best resolution for my client. My practice also allows me to learn about medicine, product design, accounting, and other subjects I wouldn’t otherwise encounter.
Most memorable case: My first jury trial — a subrogation matter involving an icy bridge — and my first Supreme Court of Virginia appearance, where the Court affirmed summary judgment for my client on a standing issue.
What makes me a leader in my field: Paying forward lessons from exceptional mentors and understanding that attorneys are counselors who must manage clients’ stress and anxiety throughout litigation.
Bar involvement/leadership roles: Past president, Virginia Association of Defense Attorneys; fellow, Roanoke Law Foundation (2025)
