I’m an African American male who has been through the challenges of our Criminal Justice System once as a young man.  During that stage of my life, I didn’t have sufficient funds to obtain a lawyer or paralegal. My strength of character impelled me to research California Laws and allowed me to educate myself on how to read, write and prepare my own court documents.  This learning process permitted me to have a clear understanding of how to file the correct documents and motions that were needed to exonerate myself from our Criminal Justice System. My process started in July of 2012, and the filing of court documents, motions and proceedings were completed, finalized, and signed by the Judge in October of 2012.  As a result, I was cleared of all charges. 

Just to be clear, I’m not a lawyer or a paralegal. As a former Police Officer from the City of Meridian, Mississippi, I’ve completed the Academy Training at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department; served 4 years as a Board Member and Patrol Advisor in the Century-Westwood Community in California; and I’m currently a Teacher at Riverside Alternative High School for the office of Juvenile Justice in Angola, Louisiana State Penitentiary. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance in life, and a prosperous life is possible with a little faith and determination.
