I have been a commercial litigation attorney with WLJ for three years. WLJ is a full-service law firm that has been handling the legal needs of our clients for over 115 years. My practice centers on banking and commercial lending, creditors’ rights and collections, bankruptcy, contract disputes and trust litigation. Originally from Texas, I obtained my undergraduate degree from Baylor University. I attended law school at the University of Arkansas and joined WLJ shortly after graduation.
