I loved spending time with my friend Judge Taylor Bachelor, Shelby County General Sessions Criminal Court Div. 7 for this article! Take a look and learn more about her! ⚖️❤️

Tremendous thanks to Judge Valerie Smith for interviewing me for this quarter’s Memphis Lawyer Magazine! I truly can’t thank her enough for setting the standard of excellence and leadership in our legal community.
