I was born in Hartford, Connecticut, but spent most of my first 18 years overseas. As a young adult, I returned to the United States, completed my undergraduate degree at Rice University in Houston, Texas, and earned my law degree from Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia. While in law school, I distinguished myself by serving on the editorial boards of the Journal of International Dispute Resolution and the Bankruptcy Developments Journal.. After law school, I continued my studies and received a Master's Degree in International and Comparative Law from the University of Brussels. Prior to entering private practice, I served as a law clerk at the U.S. Court of International Trade and as a staff attorney at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. For the past 32 years, I have devoted my practice to defending narcotics trafficking and other serious felony cases in state and federal courts throughout the United States. I have personally handled thousands of felony cases in the state courts of Georgia and in federal courts throughout the country and have a proven track record of success.

I was born and raised in Atlanta.  After graduating from Georgia State Law School, I began my 5-year career as an Assistant District Attorney.  The first 3 years were in the Coweta judicial circuit where I handled cases in Carroll, Coweta, Heard, Meriwether and Troup Counties.  In 2004, I began my two years as an Assistant District Attorney in Cobb County.

I treat your case like it was my own case.

I love being a lawyer and fight hard to  get justice for my clients.  I am a trial lawyer and prepare each case as if it were going to trial.  Most cases do not have to go to trial as a favorable plea bargain is often reached, but I am always prepared for litigation so my clients can get the best possible outcomes in their cases.

I have been practicing law for over 35 years. If you want a lawyer who cares about you and will fight for you, then you should contact me. You will have my direct office phone number, cell phone number and e-mail address to communicate about your case at any time.

I have been involved in the criminal justice system for over 36 years, and still enjoy representing my clients.  We all are human, some of us make mistakes, others find themselves in situations beyond their control.  When my clients are investigated or prosecuted for an alleged crime, I make it my practice to not judge what happened. Instead, I want to first understand the situation, then come up with a plan designed to get the best possible outcome for the person I am representing.. I am very lucky.  I continue to enjoy my job, even after 36 years. Anyone reading this who is facing criminal charges should contact my office to discuss your situation.  I look forward to hearing from you.

I have been a solo practitioner or a partner in a small law firm since graduating from Emory law school in 1988. It is my philosophy to give each client as much individual attention as their case needs for a successful conclusion. In immigration matters, I also advise clients when they have no case to remain in the United States, rather than take a case and say, "sorry,"  thousands of dollars later. It is better for clients' interests that the client take his or her hard earned money to their home country to start a new life rather than to spend it on a "wild goose chase" with the Federal Government.. I spend little time promoting myself for the benefit of the general public and for my peers, unlike many others in this profession. I find excessive lawyer advertising to be demeaning to the profession and often misleading. I only engage in it minimally in order to allow existing clients and referrals to find me. I do host an occasional radio show in Spanish.. Outside of my law practice, I am an avid golfer and fly fisherman, and a world traveller.

I am Philadelphia native who loves the Georgia sun. After high school, I joined the Army to serve my country and help people.

After graduation, I decided to continue my public service as a Federal Investigator for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commision.. My desire to assist people lead me to open my law firm in 2013. My law practice has included Estate Planning, Criminal Law, Disablity Advocay and Personal Injury. I look forward to providing excellent customer service through strategic advocacy.
