About

I graduated Georgetown Universitry Law Center in May, 1989. After completing a one-year clerkship with the Hon. James F. Queenan, Jr., United States Bankrutpcy Judge for the District of Massachusetts, I joined the Boston office of the international firm of Hale and Dorr n/k/a WilmerHale. I spent six years with that firm, practicing bankruptcy law and litigation and received excellent training by some of the best attorneys I have ever met. I have litigated at least 750 cases in 28 years of private practice and been involved in scores of appeals. I am passionate about the practice of law, always striving to achieve excellent results for all my clients. I have been married for 22 years and have two children, a son who is 17 and a daughter who is 15. We have lived in Central Kentucky since October, 2005.
