About us

 

What I believe

I was destined to be a lawyer. I derive incredible enjoyment from the individual, personal relationships I have with my clients. I value connection above everything else.

In fact, our firm prides itself on being available to you 24/7.

I am passionate, I love to win, I am straight forward and brutally honest.

And I truly believe there’s no excuse for anything less than excellence.

No attorney can guarantee you an outcome in your case. If they do, they're lying to you. But what we can guarantee you is this: I'll never sell you out, I'll never roll over to the government, and we'll never get tired of fighting.

You matter, your life matters, and your future matters to us.

Testimonials

Meet D.T.

Born and raised in Southeast Georgia, I was a son of a log truck driver who never graduated the 9th grade. Growing up, my father taught me the importance of hard work, candor, and staying true to your word. I was taught that the hard times we face are temporary, but a person's integrity and character live with them forever. I was always reminded to stay humble, stay hungry, never forget where you came from, be the hardest worker in the room, and always fight for the working man and woman.

The principles that were instilled in me is how I conduct myself as an attorney. Above all else, I am committed to professionalism and candor. I am not going to tell you what you want to hear, but I am going to tell you what you need to hear. I will return your phone calls and emails. I will never mislead or sugar coat reality, and I will always give you the unfiltered truth. 

And the truth is . . .

We need to start working on your case immediately. The sooner we put a game plan together and start working, the better chance we have at getting the results we want.

Values integrity, character, and hardwork
