Top L Lawyers in ZIP 32801 | 1351 available

Perhaps one the main reasons I enjoy my practice defending businesses is that law is not my first “career.”  In fact, law wasn’t even the second.  Before I decided to become an attorney, I had already worked in and for businesses for almost a dozen years.  I’ve heard people say they “enjoyed law school” – although, frankly, it is not something I have heard that all that often.  After spending years in the work force handling leadership roles, teambuilding, solving problems, and making decisions, going “back to school” was different and, at times, humbling.  While I am glad that law school is far behind me now, I enjoyed serving as Managing Editor of Law Review and am still proud that I received various awards, such as Outstanding Oral Advocacy.. I have spent the last almost 14 years defending lawsuits brought against manufacturers, insurance companies, and other businesses.  Most of these cases involved allegations of product liability, personal injury, and/or premises liability.  Along the way, I have drawn upon my background of  leadership, service, and teamwork.  I have attained awards, such as being selected as a Rising Star by Florida Super Lawyers three consecutive years.  I have been inducted into the International Association of Defense Counsel, which according to its website is comprised of a worldwide membership of 2,500 invitation-only peer-reviewed  leading corporate and insurance lawyers.  I was selected as a Florida Legal Elite in 2013.  I was recently appointed to The Florida Bar’s Senior Lawyers Committee.  I am also an active member of the Transportation Lawyers Association, where I enjoy my work as Chair of the Diversity Sub-Committee.. Our firm is, by design, a small boutique firm in downtown Orlando, Florida.  Our firm practices throughout Florida, in every federal district, as well as major (and minor) metropolitan areas.  I am licensed to practice before the Courts of Florida, all three U.S. Districts in Florida, the 11th Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court.  I am a Certified Litigation Management Professional, certified by the Claims and Litigation Management Alliance after a focused program at Columbia Law School.. It is suggested that I include something about myself in addition to my education, experience, awards, and such.  I am often told by clients and colleagues on both sides of the little “v” that I am good at what I do – perhaps that is because after over 30 years of working in and for businesses I have the experience and comfort level to enjoy what I do.  The shelves in my office are filled some awards – but mostly with pictures of people I love, my pets, some select books, and one plaque I was awarded over 20 years ago which, while simple, still inspires me:  “Leadership:  Leaders are like eagles. They don’t flock; you find them one at a time.”  I have learned that leadership is not often easy but the reward is, indeed, worth it.

My legal career began at the Orange County Public Defender's Office in February of 2005, where I worked for 9.5 years.  At the time I left in 2014, I was an attorney in the major crimes division, handling only first and second degree murder cases.  I left to start a firm with two partners, but a little over a year later, one partner needed to dissolve the firm, so I formed a solo practice to finish out my criminal cases.  I am proud to be back at the Public Defender's Office as of August 2016, helping those who cannot afford to hire an attorney.. Now that I am back at the Orange County Public Defender's office, I am not available for hire.  My clients are appointed to me based upon the charges and what judicial division the case is assigned to.  Appointed clients and their families still want to know about the attorney handling the case, so I hope this profile can provide that information and help everyone feel good about me when the client did not have the choice of picking me for representation.. I am a board certified criminal trial attorney, which means I am considered an expert in the field of criminal trials; there are approximately 431 attorneys in this state with that certification.  I have over 11.5 years of experience doing criminal defense, and have handled many first and second degree murder cases, attempted murders, robberies, carjackings, home invasions, burglaries, rapes, drug traffickings and possessions, etc.  I have had approximately 60 jury trials and approximately 10 non-jury trials, all of which were bench trials for violations of probation.  I have not counted cases where I announced a case as being ready for trial and the State dropped the case without picking a jury; I don't count those as a trial, though some private attorneys do, so be careful when looking at trial numbers, and ask questions as to what the attorney considers to be a trial.. I plan on keeping my website's blog online, but it's updated sporadically; essentially when I feel like writing.  One blog in particular is written to help families find ways to help their loved one who is charged with a crime.  If you'd like to check it out, please use the link in my profile to go to my website.
