I went to Law School to help people. I've found that my Criminal Law practice is an amazing place to allow me to help and serve people in need. I get the privilege and honor of being a voice for those wrongfully accused and advocating on their behalf. I also take great pride in helping those who have commited crimes and assisting them on shedding light on the legal process. My Counseling role, in my opinion, is just as valuable as my Attorney-Advocate role. I have found, more often than not, that if I help my clients take accountability for their transgressions and remedy their issues that caused their criminal allegations, that the State is far more lenient in plea negotiations. I've had guilty clients end up with dismissed cases because my clients listened to my advice on making things right.. I work hard for my clients. I treat them like family. And I defend them like family.
