While attending school at the University of Dayton School of Law, I focused on gaining as much practical experience as possible. Clubs and the Law Review sounded nice on paper, but I wanted the practical experience you just cannot get in school. I initially clerked for a small civil litigation firm. Later, I worked closely with a solo criminal defense attorney on a variety of cases ranging from traffic violations to rape. During this time, I learned the fundamentals of being an effective criminal defense advocate.Upon graduating law school, I came back home to Chicago to study for the bar exam. I quickly inserted myself in the criminal defense arena by joining the Chicago Bar Association’s Criminal Defense Committee as well as the Young Lawyers Section. At the same time, I was reaching out to every Chicago defense attorney to volunteer my time and learn new skills. I've had the opportunity to try a variety of cases including a felon in possession of a handgun jury, and a murder jury.Currently, my practice is located in the West Loop of Chicago. I focus on criminal law, although I take on any case that involves complex litigation. I love getting in front of a judge or jury. When I am not practicing, I like to volunteer my time as a mentor to local youth on probation.
