I provide uniquely client-driven representation to people facing criminal or parole issues and to victims in criminal cases.  You are in the driver's seat with me as your representative.  My premium knowledge, education, and commitment will help maximize your chance of receiving the outcome you want.  Additionally, all net proceeds from my practice fund advocacy working in criminal justice and other civic areas, so, when you hire me, you are helping yourself or your loved one and society at large.  Call me to discuss your situation for free - with no obligation.. I can guarantee that I will explain the issues in your case in a way that is clear and easy to understand.  We will take the time to make sure we are on the same page.  Critically, I also have the skill to translate those same issues into the technical form that will be clear and precise to the judges, hearing officers, parole board members, or jurors.. To see my appellate presentation style, click on the video link to see my Oral Argument before the Ohio Supreme Court in State v. Whitfield. I begin at 16:37. It may seem technical, but, in appeals, the attorney is adressing only judges (not jurors or other laypeople). The technical nature of appeals is precisely why having an experienced attorney is critical.. I also hold the following federal court admissions:. United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. United States Court of Appeal for the Sixth Circuit

Failure is just another data point. It doesn't need to define us.. Clients come to me with a specific problem, but usually it's the just tip of the iceberg in their lives. It's my job to advocate for you in crisis, set you up for success, and teach you the skills you need so that you won't need me the next time.. I advocate for students with and without disabilities. I believe that effective educational advocacy begins with knowledge – knowledge of not only the laws surrounding education, but also knowledge of disabilities, and how educators teach.  The following are legal and educational training programs I have completed:.

After graduating from Case Western Reserve University with a degree in Psychology, I spent a year performing stand-up comedy.  After successfully defending myself against a speeding ticket, I decided to go to law school at The Ohio State University College of Law.  In 1992, when I still didn't have my own late night talk show, I dedicated myself to my legal career.. Since then I have represented thousands of clients in nearly every aspect of law.  I take a personal and sincere interest in every case I handle and I strive to provide quality service at affordable fees.. I provide a free no-obligation in office initial consultation.  Call today to let my 30 years of experience work for you.
