He was previously with Williams & Connolly in Washington, D.C., where he practiced white-collar criminal defense.

Of Counsel to a U.S.-based law firm, he’s represented individuals in a wide array of state and federal prosecutions. In 2020 and 2021, he fought the COVID-19 mandates in the U.S. He was lead counsel to U.S. Senator Rand Paul in landmark separation-of-powers litigation, stripping the Governor of Kentucky of “inherent authority” under the constitution, and, in turn, bringing an end to all statewide COVID-19 orders (notably, curfews, capacity limits, and masking requirements). He holds a tenured faculty position at the University of Louisville, where he teaches Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Jurisprudence, and Natural Law & Natural Rights. He’s been named Professor of the Year by alumni and hooding professor by five graduating classes.
