2022 was a good year. I felt welcomed into the little town of Whitesburg, Kentucky and I went out solo starting my own firm. Decided that if I continued to work for someone else, either salary or as an independent contractor, I was only helping the person I was working for achieve their dreams. It was a scary cross in the road being coming out of the pandemic and having, living somewhere I knew no one (I didn’t even know of this town until 2020) and the stark reality that when starting out on your own in law, or any other business, chances are good you will not even break even for the first couple of years. I want to thank everyone who trusted in me to help them through some of the most stressful times of their lives, the referrals, the prayers, and the community for not writing me off because no one had ever heard of me before in that area.
I will continue to decide to handle your cases evaluating and giving you the truth-whether it be good or bad. Even though I will continue handling a variety of legal matter, I am happy to say that I can focus primarily on criminal law. My love and passion has always been with criminal law- whether I am the prosecutor or the defense attorney. It is a person’s right and the police’s job to not trample over those rights just to make an arrest. My good friends I made while working as a prosecutor can attest that I got in trouble on more than one occasion for sending back warrants, reports, dismissing (even though I was suppose to get approval) cases, fiercely prosecuting cases my employers wanted swept under the rug, kicking them to a lower court and just doing what I took an oath to do, approval or not. I’ve always been a person who has never sought approval nor been intimidated by anyone. I loved the courtroom since Day 1.
I am looking forward to what 2023 brings me both personally and professionally. Starting off there are several legal cases I am handling that are cases of first impression meaning the interpretation of law is presented in a case which has never arisen before in any reported case - whether it just be statewide or nationally.
Thank you and have a safe & happy New Year. If, for some reason you find yourself getting arrested tonight, give me a call at 606-303-2831 or just ask around for my number when you get to the jail 😂 I receive more daily calls from there than from robocalls.
