Eight years of experience as a cop have taught me how to deal with the police and beat them at their own game. I've read their play book and I know how to beat them.. I've gotten cases dismissed without my clients having to pay for trial or set foot inside a courthouse. I've won trials for my clients. What is more important is that I care about my clients, as my client reviews and professional endorsements attest.. Don't bet your entire future on an unprepared attorney or an expensive firm that doesn't care about you. Call me on my cell phone at for a free 90-minute consultation.. Call me today.
