He has been with the firm since 2007 and has handled Social Security cases exclusively since 2009.

He was admitted to the Alabama bar in 2006 and the Georgia bar in 2012. He is also admitted in the federal courts in Alabama and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. This training supports his work with administrative and federal disability claims.

His work includes reviewing medical and vocational information, helping clients prepare claims, addressing agency requirements, and pursuing available review when a claim is denied. By concentrating on this area for many years, he brings familiarity with the administrative framework and the practical challenges applicants face when disability affects their ability to work.
