My motto is North Carolina's "To be rather than to seem." I joined Ward and Smith because it follows that motto and does what it says it will do. It really does put our clients first, it really does insist you join the team, and it really does have your back. I enjoy working with a variety of our business clients. The folks we represent are incredibly smart and interesting people, so I get to learn something new every day.
I became a lawyer because it's a long family tradition. I love living in New Bern, but I enjoy having a practice that takes me all over all over North Carolina and sometimes to other places.
