It is my belief that it is a great privilege to defend the US Constitution, and my clients. I have gone to trial hundreds of times, and stand by ready for trial at any time

Above all else, I believe in the Constitution and in a person's right to be represented by a capable lawyer during what may be one of his or her most difficult times in life. Whether you are facing criminal charges or an allegation of professional misconduct, I focus on finding a solution that meets your current needs while also protecting your future.. When charged with a crime or accused of professional misconduct, don't accept a plea offer or settlement agreement until you speak with a qualified attorney. I protect my clients by pursuing a resolution that will put them in the best possible position for their future. Many issues can be resolved amicably with the government's lawyers. However, if a hearing or trial is necessary, my experience and skill in the courtroom will put you in the best possible position to achieve your goals.
