I am officially a working lawyer.  You heard me right, I have clients and I am bringing home the bacon (turkey bacon, that is).  A local attorney who is friends with my uncle has been wanting to hire an associate for the past year or so.  I talked to him about his practice and sounded like it would be a perfect fit of a support system with a senior attorney and the autonomy to build my own client base and work in areas of law I am interested in.

I have only been at my job for a week and a half and I already have five clients, each with different issues, but all within the Criminal Defense realm.  I also hope to extend into Domestic Relations and Juvenile work as I become more comfortable with the local court system.  So if you are looking for a lawyer in Maryville, TN or anywhere in and around Blount County, send me an email.

Today I was sworn into the practice of law in the great State of Tennessee.  Yes, I am officially fit to practice law.  Now I know none of you had your doubts and had confidence and faith.  Actually, I am sure that 50% of my regular readers wrote personal references for me.  So if you find yourself thrown in jail in Blount County at 2 a.m. you will know who to call.

That is me in the center of the picture being presented by the President of the Knoxville Bar Association.

Taking the Oath

Mom was able to watch.  She cried. Again.  Love you Mom!

And even though Dad had to work, he was proud of me too!
