I have 19 years of experience in the Seventh Judicial District Court. During that time I have defended criminal cases in courts in Crescent Valley, Eureka, Ely, Pioche, Caliente and Alamo, Nevada.  I have defended cases from disturbing the peace all the way up to capital murder. I can negotiate a resolution to your case or take it to trial if a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached. I have taken 39 cases to trial before a jury.  These cases include DUI causing death, battery with a deadly weapon, battery causing substantial bodily harm, theft, drug possession, drug sales, and murder.

I returned to Nevada after graduating law school, where I lived and worked in Las Vegas for almost 7 years before relocating to Carson Valley in 2002.. I've since operated a general practice with emphasis in criminal defense and civil litigation, including plaintiff’s personal injury and family law. Practice also includes estate and probate law and both transactional business law as well as corporate litigation.. I've served as both conflict counsel for the Ninth Judicial District Court for indigent criminal defendants, as well as primary appointed counsel for juveniles. I was also engaged by the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California as counsel for indigent criminal defendants in tribal court from 2008-2015. Since 2005 I've also acted as a court-appointed arbitrator in civil matters in the 1st, 2nd and 9th judicial district courts. In 2015, I began sitting pro tempore, for the East Fork Justice Court.. I am an experienced, aggressive and qualified trial attorney who provides my clients with a broad range of legal services.  My clients are individuals, families and small businesses, with an emphasis on the representation of Douglas County residents.

With an exclusive focus on criminal defense, I am prepared to provide affordable representation in a wide range of felony and misdemeanor matters.
