His Own Words
"I am grateful for the trial and appellate advocacy experience I gained while attending William and Mary. My participation on both the National Trial Team and the Moot Court Team made me feel extremely comfortable inside of the courtroom, whether I'm in front of a panel of judges or a jury of my peers. And thanks to the continued guidance and advice from both my W&M professors and fellow teammates, I am confident that my transition into the 'real world' of criminal law will be a smooth one!"
