My philosophy is simple, I use empathy and experience to help my clients find relief from debt, to find peace of mind. I personally help all my clients. I do all consultations, all analyses of a client’s case, basically all work necessary to help a client find that peace of mind that he/she deserves.. The logo, A Lawyer Who Cares™, is not just a logo; I do care about the success of client’s case and work to help them achieve success in an area of the law that, at times, can be daunting, confusing and frightening.

Thanks for checking out my profile. Please view my biography at

Thank you for reviewing my profile and considering me to represent you in your criminal defense, DUI/DWI, or personal injury case.. Choosing a lawyer is as important as picking a doctor, and I encourage you to take your time in making this potentially life altering decision.  I also encourage you to contact several attorneys before you contact me so you can see the difference between their hard-selling, used car dealer approach and my honest, straightforward, no-nonsense approach.  I take great pride in obtaining the best results possible for my clients.  I enjoy an excellent reputation throughout the legal community because of my legal intellect, personal integrity, professionalism, and unrelenting drive to protect my clients.. I represent clients in Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Maricopa County and throughout Arizona.  I also work with a network of attorneys covering many practice areas, so if I cannot personally represent you, I will help you find an attorney who can.. ADVERTISING SCAM NOTICE:  Many attorneys are now adding to their profiles and websites that they have been "chosen" or "selected" by organizations as being outstanding lawyers.  As an example, I've been offered membership in Best Law Firms of America, Best Attorney of America, Top 40 under 40 by the American Society of Legal Advocates, Top 40 under 40 by the National Trial Lawyers, Nation's Top One Percent by National Association of Distinquished Counsel, 10 Best Attorneys for the State of Arizona in Client Satisfaction in DUI Defense, and many, many more.  Membership in these organizations or acceptance of these "awards" is based solely on the payment of a fee.  Do not be misled by attorneys who use these organizations or awards in their advertisements or websites.  The only reputable attorney rating organizations are Super Lawyers and Martindale Hubbell.

In law school, I served as an Executive Note Editor for the Arizona Law Review.  I clerked with Mesch, Clark & Rothschild PC, as well as the Civil Division of the Pima County Attorney’s Office. As a law student, I tried numerous cases (both to the jury and to the bench) with the City of Tucson Prosecution Clinic, gaining courtroom skills that continue to serve me today.  I served as the Assistant Director of the Law Office & Courtroom of the Future Project alongside Professor Winton Woods. In 2002, my Law Review note was published in the Arizona Law Review (“: RIAA v Napster and the War Against Online Musical Piracy,” 44 Ariz. L. Rev. 495 (2002), discussing the future of musical copyright in the digital world of the 21st century.).
