Managing Attorney at
Rise Up Legal
Jacksonville Beach, Florida, 32250
Aside from zealous advocacy, the lawyer’s primary role is to ensure you, our client, can perceive both the positive and negative aspects of a complex legal issue. Lawyers must boil down unfamiliar topics and promote well-informed, rational decision-making processes. I’m passionate about integrity, responsibility, and professionalism. I strive to combine tenacity and grit with a civil, courteous approach. As your attorney, I will work hard every day to help you manage uncertainty and overcome any legal obstacles you face.
I’m a first-generation attorney who’s known nothing but long days and hard work my entire life. I grew up in Alabama, became an Eagle Scout during high school, and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force soon after graduation. I spent my 20s in Las Vegas, then moved to Los Angeles and attended college on the G.I. bill.
After deciding to attend law school, I finished in 23 months, shaving more than a full year of the traditional three-year program. I held a job throughout my law studies while doing my best to be a good dad to my kids. I’m licensed to practice law in Florida and work alongside my bride and fellow attorney, Melissa Cain, at RISE UP LEGAL | Attorneys-at-Law. Our main office is in wonderful Jacksonville, Florida. We live near Ponte Vedra Beach, where we’ve decided to settle down and raise our amazing daughters. Are you experiencing legal trouble? Call me – I’ll fight to protect your best interests.
