A product of Fayette County schools, Rob received his undergraduate education at Mississippi State University (an institution attended by many of his family members) and his Juris Doctorate degree from Georgia State University College of Law.
Since his admission to the bar in 1995, Rob has been a trial lawyer. He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in personal injury cases.

This experience is an invaluable asset in his current practice as an advocate for injury victims. He has tried numerous jury trials throughout the State of Georgia and has successfully represented clients in the Court of Appeals of Georgia and the Supreme Court of Georgia. Additionally, he has litigated cases in Federal District Court in the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia. He has also spoken at Continuing Legal Education programs for other lawyers on topics such as insurance coverage questions and medical reimbursement/lien issues in personal injury cases.
