Dealing with an arrest or a criminal charge can be terrifying. As a criminal defense attorney, I help people who are struggling with the worst time of their lives. It is my job to help people understand their options, help them make informed decisions, and then zealously fight for their interests.. For me criminal defense is more than going to court and making legal arguments, it is helping people solve problems. When clients come to me with a problem, what matters most is my client’s goals. For some, getting a dismissal or a not guilty verdict is the only option. For others, making the problem go away as quickly and quietly as possible is more important. I make it a priority to understand my client’s goals and values and fight to help them reach a desired outcome. I understand that my client’s life is more than just their legal problems. In most cases, a person’s legal issue affects other areas of their lives including family relationships and work. As your attorney, I will not only help you navigate the legal system but I will give you guidance and support to bring normalcy back to your life.

When people ask what I do, I’m always proud to say I am a trial attorney; I fight on behalf of my clients in the courtroom whether it’s at trial, a hearing, or in tough negotiations. I understand deeply that dealing with a civil or criminal court case can be at times confusing, frustrating, even terrifying for those outside the system. That is why in my role as an attorney, I work with and listen closely to my clients to demystify this system, help them understand its procedure, and build effective strategies to try to get the best possible outcome for them. When I joined the Miami Public Defender’s office, I learned how to zealously fight for my clients in some of the most high-stakes situations a person can face: when their freedom is in jeopardy. In that fast-paced court system, the arguments I made to the court, the motions I litigated, and the witnesses I called were all that stood between my clients and separation from their families, jobs, and futures. My time as a public defender taught me to litigate both aggressively and strategically and to be a voice for my clients in a court system where no one else would. I have taken the lessons I learned there to my practice today, and proudly use that knowledge behalf of my clients involved in both criminal and civil litigation.

In addition to to the legal practice, I spend my time as a musician, dj, father, husband, and professor.
