I Understand Your Situation

You’re worried about what will happen to your family if a jury convicts you of the crimes the prosecution has accused you of. With years of experience in defending people from unjust allegations, I work hard to get you released on bail and finally acquitted of the charges. If you are guilty of some of the charges, I leverage every tool in our legal arsenal to work out a plea deal so that one mistake doesn’t ruin your entire life. Don’t wait to seek justice. Join forces with an attorney that will fight for your rights today.

A Former Prosecutor Who Now Works To Defend You

As a former prosecutor, I know how the other side thinks. When I put together your defense, I work to anticipate and dismantle the prosecution’s arguments. Because I understand how prosecutors approach the criminal justice system, I know how to build a criminal defense strategy that suits your case’s unique circumstances and has the strongest likelihood of obtaining a beneficial outcome. I may bring in an expert witness, DNA evidence and other information supporting your case.
