Bar / Professional Activity
- For the 2024-2025 Season, I was a member of the Potter Stewart Inn of Court. As a part of this group, I attended several professional events and listened to various speakers from the legal field. I also was a member of the planning committee for Judge's Night: Judicial Speed Dating. When planning for this event, I was in charge of finding judges to attend the event, drafting questions to ask the judges, and planning the logistical details for the event. , 2024
- I am licensed to practice law in: Ohio and Kentucky state court as well as federal court for the Southern District of Ohio.
- I have been a member of the Kentucky Bar Association since I was admitted to practice in Kentucky., 2025
- I have been a member of the Cincinnati Bar Association since I was admitted to the Ohio Bar.
Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)
- I briefed and argued a vexatious litigator motion in Hamilton County, Ohio and had the pro se plaintiff deemed to be a vexatious litigator in the State of Ohio., 2025
- After successfully briefing and arguing a vexatious litigator motion in the trial court, defense counsel appealed to the First District Court of Appeals. In April 2026, I argued before the court of appeals, arguing that the vexatious litigator designation should not be overturned. On June 30, 2026, the First District Court of Appeals affirmed the trial courts decision and upheld the designation. , 2026
- Right before trial was set to start, I obtained a $950,000 settlement for Client #2. Prior to this, the defendants were not willing to pay anything to Client #2, but eventually conceded to avoid trial. The litigation revolved around breach of a previous settlement agreement. , 2024
- I was apart of the litigation team that secured a $25 million settlement for Client #1. This was in exchange for a minority share in Client #1's family business., 2024
- I filed and received an emergency TRO in Kenton County, Kentucky. Through this TRO, we were able to remove the 50% business partner from the Company. In exchange, the 50% partner agreed to walk away for $0 in exchange for his portion of the business., 2025
Special Licenses / Certifications
- Prior to graduating from law school, I obtained my limited license. This allowed me to represent clients in misdemeanor cases (with a supervising attorney) prior to graduating and receiving my law license. I worked at the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office with this limited license and was responsible for my own misdemeanor case load., 2022
Pro bono / Community Service
- I have been a part of the Ohio Innocence Project Young Professionals Board since it was reinstated after Covid-19. As a member of this Young Professionals Board, I serve as an intermediary between the general public, OIP Fellows, and the Ohio Innocence Project Board of Directors. The Young Professionals Board is in charge of several fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for the Innocence Project, as it is an entirely non-profit organization. We have hosted happy hours so that people can meet some of OIP's exonerees, had fundraisers to raise money for OIP in general, promoted the Voices of Injustice play (written and performed by OIP exonerees), and promote/assist in the OIP annual fundraiser. , 2024
- Outside of the legal world, I volunteer weekly to coach a "little dribblers" basketball team. These are kindergarten and first grade students that I coach the fundamentals of basketball to. , 2025
Educational Background
- Attended the University of Dayton and received a BA in Political Science with a minor in Human Rights and Criminal Justice Studies. I graduated summa cum laude and was a part of the Honors Program all four years. As a requirement for my honors program, I wrote a Thesis Paper on wrongful incarcerations and how pre-trial publicity affects wrongful convictions., 2015-2019
- Attended the University of Cincinnati Law School. While there, I worked as a fellow with the Ohio Innocence Project (OIP) and helped exonerate OIP's 37th client, Alan Butts., 2019-2022
Other Outstanding Achievements
- For a year in law school, I had the distinct privilege of being a fellow with the Ohio Innocence Project. I was responsible for several cases and researching the client's claim of innocence. Specifically, I had several cases that involved Shaken Baby Syndrome. The science surrounding Shaken Baby Syndrome has completely shifted, and it is now considered a "junk science" by many courts. We used this change in science to advocate for our clients to receive a new trial. On December 8, 2022, Alan Butts was exonerated after serving 20 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. I was one of the OIP fellows that worked on Alan's case, attended the hearing for the new trial, and even was apart of filing a motion to exclude the state's expert testimony at the new trial. I had the distinct privilege of being in Columbus when Alan was exonerated and walked out of prison after losing 20 years of freedom. , 2020
