I have focused my legal career entirely on criminal law, as I have a passion for protecting those accused of criminal conduct from the powers that be.  This passion is rooted in the notion that by protecting the rights of my clients', I am also protecting the rights of society as a whole, especially in the state-ist times in which we live.. Having earned a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I am accutely aware that unchecked executive power is a cancer to a free and just society.  At the front line of the war being waged on society's freedoms and linberties, are criminal defense attornies, who provide the necessary check on governmental action, and fight to ensure that our society remains free and open, the essential hallmarks of Western Civilization..
