Upon graduating law school from Roger Williams University School of Law in Bristol, Rhode Island, I obtained my LL.M. degree in Trial Advocacy, specializing in Federal Criminal Defense, from California Western School of Law in San Diego, California. While studying at California Western, I volunteered at the California Innocence Project, an organization dedicated to obtaining the release of incarcerated individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. As part of the LL.M. program, I interned with the Miami Federal Defender’s Office where I assisted in the defense of Guillermo Zarabozo, which is more widely known as the “Joe Cool” case.. Upon leaving my internship at the Miami Federal Defenders Office, I was Of Counsel with the Law Office of Richard C. Klugh where I handled a variety of cases from driving on a suspended license, to driving under the influence, drug trafficking, fraud and murder. I also represented clients in all types of state and federal trial, post-conviction, and appellate proceedings.. In law school, I interned at the Rhode Island Public Defenders Office where I was actively involved in trials, probation violation hearings, and plea negotiations. In addition, I was a member of the trial team and one of the first students to participate in the Pro Bono Collaborative Legal Rights Workshop, a project partnering law students with law firms and community service agencies to present legal rights workshops to the low-income constituents of community service agencies.. I am admitted to practice law in the states of Florida, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I am also admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for the Southern District of Florida, Middle District of Florida and the District of Massachusetts as well as the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

I know what you're going through because I've been there.... You probably already know that when you're going through a criminal action, it's like watching the foundation of your life crumble.  This is a tough situation for you. You feel overwhelmed with emotions -- one minute you feel terrified, anxious, stressed... and the next minute you feel emotionally paralyzed, in a state of quiet desperation and fear. You're struggling to keep things under control and it can be the most challenging time of your life --. You want someone to give you hope... you want someone confident, experienced and assertive to fight hard for you and to tell you that everything is going to be alright.. I know and I understand how you feel because I've been there... when I was in college a close family member was charged with Federal Mail and Wire Fraud. He was convicted and sent to Allenwood Federal Prison for 3 years. It was a difficult time for our family. It was during that time that I found my passion for Criminal Defense. We were not happy with his lawyers or the way they handled his case; they lacked confidence, they didn't fight hard for him, they were not aggressive in court, they seemed afraid to challenge the prosecutor, they did not try to negotiate any favorable deals and... they had no empathy for their clients. They couldn't understand how difficult it is to be in a position where you are right now; accused of comitting a crime, afraid, facing an uncertain future, worried you may go to jail... even if you are innocent!. I made the decision to become a Criminal Defense Attorney so that I could fight for people like you who are accused of committing criminal offenses, providing you with the best possible representation and aggressively fighting to get you the results you want -- helping you get through the difficult times so you can focus on the rest of your life and the positive aspects of your life.. In addition to Criminal Defense my passion is Martial Arts... I'm a fighter!. What sets me apart from many other criminal defense attorneys is the fact that I am a Black Belt in two schools of Martial Arts; Kung Fu and Muay Thai Kickboxing. I'm a fighter!. In 2001, I was awarded a dual Black Belt in Northern Shaolin Eagle Claw Kung Fu and in Muay Thai Kickboxing. Earning my Black Belt required a combination of grit and toughness, focus and determination, hard work, sweat equity and perseverance. I endured hundreds of hours of training and countless bumps and bruises; over the course of my training I faced many challenges, I fought hard and I never gave up.. My Martial Arts training has made me patient, laser-focused, tough and disciplined. My training gives me a distinct advantage over my opponents in the courtroom. I have an abundance of confidence, I am always prepared, I never quit and I won't settle for a bad deal. Every time I step into a courtroom I become energized. I love what I do and I am very good at what I do. I am an experienced and aggressive Criminal Defense Attorney licensed to practice law in Florida, New York and New Jersey for over 31 years..
