I am a general practitioner and litigator with a focus on firearms law. I devote a large portion of my practice to representing firearm owners.
I was born and raised in Piqua, Ohio. I accepted the honor of admittance to The Ohio State University where I earned my B.A. in Political Science.

During my time at The Ohio State University, I served in a variety of capacities to include jobs with the Ohio House of Representatives and a 6-year enlistment with The Ohio Army National Guard. While in the Army, I was deployed for a 14-month tour to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

After my return to the United States, I enrolled at Regent University School of Law. While in law school, I served as Chairman of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Board which won the American Bar Associations coveted National Negotiations Competition.
As an Ohio gun lawyer, I have extensive experience with issues concerning concealed weapons, concealed weapons permits, firearm laws and concealed handgun laws. I can also assist in setting up gun trusts and help with the purchase of a class III firearm.

The fundamental right to keep and bear arms is the most heavily regulated civil liberty entitled to Americans. As a lifelong sports enthusiast and firearms advocate, I have devoted a large portion of my law practice to this very important issue. I am available to discuss any concern you may have as it relates to firearms, including, criminal matters, concealed weapon issues, business concerns and NFA gun trusts.
I am actively involved in my church and various veterans and gun rights advocacy organizations, including: National Rifle Association - Ohioans for Concealed Carry - American Legion - Veterans of Foreign Wars - American Veterans - Federalist Society
I dedicate time to various pro-bono projects to include the legal aid society of Columbus (Save the Dream volunteer).

For initial consulations, the first 30 minutes are free.
Some hourly-billed cases may be subject to a retainer.

Simple estate plans, most criminal matters and many other types of cases are eligable for fixed-price fees.
I charge an hourly rate of $175 for complex estate planning and probate, civil cases, and most gun-related matters.
