While attending school at the University of Dayton School of Law, I focused on gaining as much practical experience as possible.  Clubs and the Law Review sounded nice on paper, but I wanted the practical experience you just cannot get in school.  I initially clerked for a small civil litigation firm.  Later, I worked closely with a solo criminal defense attorney on a variety of cases ranging from traffic violations to rape.  During this time, I learned the fundamentals of being an effective criminal defense advocate.Upon graduating law school, I came back home to Chicago to study for the bar exam.  I quickly inserted myself in the criminal defense arena by joining the Chicago Bar Association’s Criminal Defense Committee as well as the Young Lawyers Section.  At the same time, I was reaching out to every Chicago defense attorney to volunteer my time and learn new skills.  I've had the opportunity to try a variety of cases including a felon in possession of a handgun jury, and a murder jury.Currently, my practice is located in the West Loop of Chicago.  I focus on criminal law, although I take on any case that involves complex litigation.  I love getting in front of a judge or jury.  When I am not practicing, I like to volunteer my time as a mentor to local youth on probation.

There are a lot of lawyers who know the law and are good lawyers.. Unfortunately, there are very few great lawyers.  A great lawyer is someone who not only knows the law but also takes the time to listen to the client, understand the client's problem, develop a solution tailored to the client's needs and then deliver the solution to the client.  The solution may not always involve legal action.  Sometimes what the client needs is someone to listen and a word of advice.. I pride myself on being a lawyer who takes the time to listen to my clients.  I do that because I learned that unless a lawyer learns to care about what the client is saying, a lawyer will not be effective in fashioning a good solution.   And by learning to care, I found that I have become a better lawyer and more effective in helping the people that seek me out to help them with their problems.  That often means that I am taking some legal action on behalf of my clients.  When I do that, I achieve my clients' objectives. I can proudly say that I have never let a client down.  But sometimes my help means that I am advising some non-legal solution.  Because my clients know that I genuinely care about them, they take my advice and value it.. My track record of legal successes which includes dozends of jury trial victories along with my capacity to listen, care, fight when necessary, or offer a word advice, keeps clients coming back and referring others.
