Top Best Criminal Defense Lawyers | 26015 Available

Growing up, my dad would tell me to be a doctor or a lawyer so I could take care of him in his old age.  When I finally became an attorney I felt called to be a public servant as first a Judge's staff attorney and then as a prosecutor.  After a few years in the public sector I was ready for a change of scenery so I moved to private practice.  It is in private practice that I have really been able to apply my passion for people and for the law to my career.  As the owner of my own firm, I pride myself on the personal attention and availability I am able to bring to the table.  I am truly available 24/7 as I understand that the criminal justice system does not stop going after five.  My clients get my honest assessments and can tell that I want to work to help them obtain justice.  I enjoy assisting my clients navigate the court system, criminal cases, sexual misconduct allegations, expungements, Title IX proceedings, as well as Domestic Violence Protective Order hearings.  If you have any questions, reach out and give me a call.
