I love competition and thrive on being a trial lawyer. I'm known as the 'DWI Guy' and 100% own it. It's what I do. I'm in the Legal Elite Hall of Fame as my colleagues voted me as North Carolina's Top Criminal Law Attorney in 2016. I appreciate all the awards and recognition, from serving on Law Review to Business NC's Top 30 Under 30, to Super Lawyers, to the National Trial Lawyer's Top 40 Under 40, but it's helping people that makes me truly happy.What will become clear after speaking with me?[1] I'm direct and strategically-aggressive.[2] My niche is getting people (Judges, Lawyers, DA's Office, etc.) to say "Yes" when they don't want to.[3] Our custom internal-process and checks & balance systems will be relieving.Being a certified NBA Player Agent (NBPA), the time I don?t spend battling it out in court, I spend either recruiting NBA prospects or reliving my glory days on the basketball court. I?ve been the Commissioner of the Mecklenburg County Lawyer Basketball League for years. Check out the photo-section for our recent Championship portrait. You?ll have the opportunity to hold our 50lb. gavel as it?s proudly displayed as soon as you walk in our building.I?m a West Virginia native who fights to the end. I started my professional career in the Corporate & Investment Banking world. Although very interesting, I didn?t know my personal end-game until I formed RTS Law Group. Our employees are sharp, passionate, and feel like they are members of my family (some actually are). This has all been a dream-come-true. I?m looking forward to fighting on your behalf. View More ?
