Lawyer Overview

In 2001, I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English. After spending time teaching elementary education in southern California, I entered law school and graduated from Western State University, College of Law in 2006.

While attending law school, I worked full-time at a mid-sized insurance defense firm in Orange County California.  This experience allowed me to have hands-on training in multiple aspects of civil litigation, from writing and responding to various motions, to being responsible for large discovery projects on multi-million dollar litigation projects, including one of the firm's most ambitious projects, the defense of a high profile client that resulted in a $110 million dollar settlement.

Upon arriving in the great state of Arizona with my wife, I found employment at a local firm in Gilbert and focused on bankruptcy and estate planning.  The firm was bustling with business and offered me daily opportunities to learn new concepts and refine my skills.  When the time was appropriate, I began my own practice with the intent of providing help and assistance with bankruptcy, foreclosure, and estate planning issues to residents of the East Valley, including Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, and Tempe, as well as Phoenix.

When I'm not helping people achieve debt relief or plan for their children's future, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing basketball, and reading.
