My clients include college students, individuals, and family members who are seeking guidance on how to handle criminal charges.

The first thing I do is to listen to your story, to find out where the process is and to start preparing an aggressive defense on your behalf.
I draw from over 30 years of experience as a prosecutor when assessing my client's case and preparing a defense strategy. I work personally with my clients at every stage to help them understand what is happening and what options are available to them. I am a former prosecutor who has tried over 100 felony trials in my career and, when appropriate for my client, I am not afraid to take a case to trial and advocate vigorously on my client's behalf.
