I am a Hoosier, born and raised- most of my childhood was spent in Moonsville, Indiana on my Grandparent's and Great Grandparent's farm. I graduated from Anderson High School with an Academic Honors Diploma before attending Ball State University. I graduated from the Political Science Department's Legal Studies Program at Ball State University and was accepted to Thomas M.

I went from one employee to five, and expanded my clientele by 235%. I continued to expand my skills in both family law and criminal law while simultaneously adding a Partner to my practice (Chris GIlley). This progress continued into my third year of practice. I added one more partner to my practice (Robert Summerfield) and formed CGS Law Group with the hopes of better serving my clients (which now ranged to nearly every county in central Indiana). My office grew from 1200 sq. ft. to 3200 sq. ft. I added another 3 employees and began to specialize my practice in family law. In August of 2014 I returne
