I am pleased to represent clients in pharmaceutical drug, vaccine and medical device matters. Additionally, I handle consumer class actions such as data breach, defective products and unfair business practices litigation.
Born and raised in Salisbury, NC - home of Cheerwine and Food Lion - I am proud to be a Double Deacon and love my Wake Forest teams.
