I am an attorney in Bismarck, North Dakota with 23 years experience in criminal law as both a prosecutor and defense attorney.. I've handled thousands of criminal cases and have tried hundreds of cases to jury verdict in all areas of criminal law-DUI cases, sex cases, drug offenses, property and white collar crimes, and violent crimes including homicides. I've argued dozens of appeals to the North Dakota Supreme Court, and am licensed in North Dakota state court, the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota, and the United States Supreme Court. I have served on the North Dakota Supreme Court Joint Procedures Committee and currently serve on the Advisory Commission on Electronic Media in the Courtroom, and the State Bar Association Legislative Committee. I also teach Criminal Procedure at the University of Mary in Bismarck and at the ND Law Enforcement Training Academy on the issue of use of force.. My wealth of experience in criminal law on both the prosecution and defense side of cases gives me a unique insight into each case. Having built criminal cases from the ground up has taught me how to break them down into their smallest parts and find their weaknesses, to make sure each and every client gets the best representation possible.. The system labels those charged with crimes as "suspects", "the accused", or "defendants". You need a compassionate, experienced, dedicated lawyer on your side who will remind the system that these cases are about real people, not labels. That is what you will get with me, pure and simple. Call today for a free consultation. I look forward to visiting with you about how I can help in your case.
