Biography

After I graduated from law school in 1989, I returned to my hometown of Ft. Myers and became a prosecutor for a year at the State Attorney's Office. During that time, I got valuable trial experience and learned my way around the courtroom. I went into private practice in 1990 as a junior partner with the law firm Mockler, Porter & Mills, and our firm concentrated in divorce law and criminal defense. In 1993, I started my own firm handling divorce, criminal defense, and domestic violence injunction cases. My practice currently is family law and circuit civil mediation, divorce, and domestic violence injunction cases.

I have also written nine murder mysteries set on the barrier islands of Southwest Florida. You can check out my books on this Amazon link: Pine Island Sound Mysteries.
