I have a very strong work ethic developed from my years as a Division I college basketball player.  This work ethic has been key to my success as an attorney. I am a dedicated husband and father.  I am an Eagle Scout.

I began practicing law when I graduated from law school and got a law license in August of 2000.  I hung up my shingle and opened a solo law office, intending that my practice would be in the trial courts -- trying cases for individual persons.  I have been trying cases and representing people charged with  serious criminal offenses for over 20 years, and have tried dozens of ciminal cases before juries, with charges ranging from misdemeanor appeals to capital murder. I began to focus exclusively on criminal cases in 2011. Jury trials are unique and challenging.  There are always valuable things to be learned from every trial, whatever the outcome. There is a saying, usually applied to warfare or other adversarial situations, that "no plan survives contact with the enemy". Maybe with jury trials the more apt saying might be, "no plan matters if the jury doesn't get it,like it, etc."  But the state prosecutor, inspite of many other built-in advantages (like having the first and last word if the defendant puts on evidence) potentially has that same problem with a jury. So the greatest opportunity (maybe the only opportunity) for an accused person to make a decision to take an action that may result in the preservation of their liberty, may be their right to demand a jury trial..
