I strive to treat my clients as family and to meet all reasonable expectations.  I know Estate Planning is a difficult conversaion and I am here to help make it easier and less stressful.

I have structured my professional life around colleagues who share my goals and skills. All are excellent attorneys at the top of there craft. We share everything on a professional level and I do not hesitate to seek counsel from one or all if I have a difficult question regarding a case. So, when a client retains me for his or her defense he or she gets not one attorney but several. But make no mistake, all Court hearings and ultimate decisions are my clients and mine to make. I look at all of my clients as friends through this process. It is a team effort, one for all and all for one. This is the only way I can function. In fact, many of my prior clients are friends and have been to my home as guests. Reality for me is if you care about a person and find something no matter how small to relate to, it gives me the advantage when I stand in front of a jury and look them straight in the eye and ask them to do justice, not vengeance..

I have been practicing law for the last decade, and absolutely love it.

I graduated from the University of Idaho College of Law at the age of 38. My first 8 years of practice were at the Washoe County District Attorney's office. I have worked the last two years with Joey Gilbert Law as the head of the criminal law department. I am now opening my own office with the help of my loving and supporting wife. I will be focusing on criminal law, but will also handle personal injury, immigration, and select business law cases.

I have been passionate about immigration law since the beginning of my legal career.. I was a legal assistant with the Law Office of Richard D. Fleischer for 2 years before starting law school while I obtained my Bachelor's in Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno..

I have been helping people with personal injury cases since 1994 . Dealing with insurance companies is not easy, and they are going to do everything that they can to defeat your claim.

You are important to me and I will take the time to get to know you and your case and dedicate myself to helping you along every step of your case.
