I am Disciplinary Counsel in the Litigation Division of the Board of Professional Responsibility where I conduct trials and appeals in matters involving alleged ethics violations. I also provide informal ethics opinions for members of the bar and have spoken across the State of Tennessee on a variety of ethics related topics. Prior to serving as Disciplinary Counsel, I spent nine years in Memphis as a litigation attorney in a small firm and as a solo practitioner. I am the former chair of the Memphis Bar Association’s Access to Justice Committee and currently serve as Chair of the Tennessee Bar Association’s Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee. I also serve as President on the Board of Tennessee CASA, a non-profit organization established to support the development, growth and continuation of programs which recruit and train volunteers to serve as advocates representing the best interests of children in court proceedings.
