UNRIVALED PASSION: I began my career as an attorney as a public defender. I started to really see a system that didn't care about people-- where the goal was clearing dockets, where all too often no one was interested in hearing the client's story and there wasn't an attorney demanding justice for that client. The whole system was about moving case files as if there weren’t human beings attached to them.. Determined to be the advocate for those clients, I spent years pushing back against this system that has accepted injustice for so long. My goal was to provide the advocacy, representation, and defense that every client deserves-- what I would want for the people we love. My goal and vow to my clients remains the same-- your voice will be heard, your story will be told, and your goals remain at the forefront of your representation.. I am a passionate trial attorney who cares about justice, who refuses to give into what the system wants me to do, who pushes back against it, and refuses to see lives as expendable. TRIAL EXPERIENCE: Your goals are at the forefront of my representation and your defense. You do not have to worry about an inexperienced lawyer should we have to go to trial and can feel confident with an attorney with every skill set at your disposal.. I have been trained by some of the best trial attorneys in the US. I was among a select few in the United States chosen to apply and accepted to a competitive trial attorney training program.. I am a defense attorney with trial experience. I am ready to go to trial and I take that seriously. You can be confident that I am a formidable opponent, ready, and able to use all the skills I have to defend you to the fullest.. HOW CAN I HELP: A serious offense demands a serious defense. No matter the criminal case, I can help by listening to the facts, uncovering new information and positioning you with the best defense possible. I have been defendMing clients every day for over three years.. If you’ve been arrested and charged with a crime, you’re likely frightened, confused and don’t know where to turn. Who will help fight the charges against you? Who will stand by your side throughout the investigation and the trial? Who has your best interests at heart?. I am a seasoned criminal defense attorney who understands that each alleged crime has a unique set of circumstances surrounding it, and I am committed to thoroughly investigating each and every facet of the case to build the best defense possible. I believe every person has the right to an aggressive defense to help protect their freedoms, liberties and keep their record clear.
