After nine years as a prosecutor, I launched my own firm specializing in criminal law. I have handled every type of criminal case including murder, attempted murder, robbery, carjacking, burglary, rape, child molestation, child abuse, domestic violence, driving under the influence, and white collar fraud. Of the thousands of DUI cases that I prosecuted, I never lost a single case. I have successfully handled high profile media cases covered on CNN, Huff Post, NY Times, LA Times, NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC, and KCAL. With over fifty cases tried before a jury to verdict, I have actual trial experience. In 2014, I was named prosecutor of the year in the largest prosecutorial agency in the nation. As a former prosecutor with a stellar reputation for fairness, integrity, and work ethic, I have the experience, ties, and credibility to deal with judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement.  Whether someone is being investigated for a crime, has been charged with a crime, or is a victim of a crime, contact me for the very best in knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective representation.
