Jim graduated from Purdue University with a Political Science degree and from Northeastern Law School in Boston. This esteemed law school is known for its innovative approach to education valuing experience both in the classroom and out in the field. The academic atmosphere is highly competitive but focused on the well-being of the students from all backgrounds and experiences. Jim brings those same principles with him in his private practice and is actively involved in Oklahoma City with organizations representing the diversity of our community.

Jim has always chosen to challenge societal norms and reach out to those who are often ignored or overlooked. Before pursuing law, he began his career as a social worker at an HIV clinic in Rhode Island, where he was a founding member of a youth outreach program focused on providing important and possibly life saving information and assistance. In addition to these efforts, he also ran a statewide needle exchange program as part of a harm reduction campaign for those suffering from addiction. This provided a safe place for people in need to learn about local rehab and treatment options.

Now as an attorney with over a decade’s worth of experience in the courtroom, he continues to help others in tough situations. He understands that no one wants to be faced with criminal charges of any kind. Even if you have lost the support of your friends and family, he understands you need and deserve empathy, kindness, and respect. Jim does not take his role as your attorney lightly. He will provide sound legal judgement and help guide you to the result that works best for you.
