A  percentage of my practice is devoted to special assault and abuse cases.  I also enjoy representing juveniles and young adults in educational, juvenile court and criminal court cases.. I am  a parent and fully understand the impact a pending criminal charge, protection order or investigation can have on a family whether the case is against a parent or a child. The whole family is affected.. After over 30 years of criminal defense and related proceedings, I can identify and develop strong defenses in cases involving false accusations, retaliatory complaints, misuse of the legal system.  In cases where the allegation may be true, my clients can trust that I offer no judgment, I understand that sometimes things just go wrong and people make mistakes. My job is then to develop mitigation and seek avenues for leniency and best outcomes.. There are many reasons why someone can find themselves accused of wrongdoing.
