- While attending West Virginia University, I worked with my father as a surface miner in the coal fields of West Virginia
- Of all the lessons learned during those summers, I learned to appreciate the value of a hard work and the importance of taking pride in whatever you do
- At Blumenauer Hackworth, we take pride in our work, regardless of whether it is for a small business client, a family just trying to get their house repaired after a water leak, sinkhole or fire, or someone being accused of a crime for the first time
- We take the simple approach at Blumenauer Hackworth that when you trust us with your case or issue, you deserve only the finest on our end

- I was also a Florida Bar Public Service Fellow

- I had the opportunity to represent over one thousand criminal defendants
- While an assistant public defender, I attended Public Defender College, a program intended to develop and maintain advocacy skills for assistant public defenders across Florida
- The Public Defender's Office gave me the skills necessary to handle your criminal case system from arraignment to disposition hearings to pretrial hearings to jury trial to appeals
- These experiences made a more complete, thorough Florida criminal defense attorney
- After leaving the Public Defender's Office, I was offered a position with Cole, Scott & Kissane, one of Florida's largest insurance defense firms
- While with Cole, Scott & Kissane, my practice focused on homeowner's property insurance litigation, personal injury and wrongful death suits
- While at Cole, Scott & Kissane, I began to quickly realize my real passion lay in representing real people, homeowners, and those accused of crimes

- My wife and I were featured in Children's' Dream Fund's 2012 Christmas Calendar regarding our assistance with their fundraising efforts
- When we started Blumenauer Hackworth, I wanted to return to the type of practice that inspired me to become an attorney, the kind of practice that valued people and understood that behind every case was a family and a story
- Coming from a big firm, I wanted to get back to the basics
- I wanted to get back to the client centered approach of law, where our litigation strategy focuses on your needs, not the other way around
- At Blumenauer Hackworth, we combine the full service aspects of a large firm with the familiarity and comfort of a small firm
