I am a Wisconsin-licensed Criminal Defense attorney.  I am admitted to practice before the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as well as the Eastern District of the United States District Court.  I focus my practice 100% on defending the rights of my clients.  Unlike many attorneys, I spend a large portion of my week in court working with judges and district attorneys to advocate for my clients.  My firm represents clients in Dodge, Jefferson, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties and we have the contacts and relationships to offer our clients the best possible representation.. I regularly handle misdemeanors, felonies, OWIs and other traffic offenses.  I represent clients who are facing revocation of their probation, parole or extended supervision and assist them in seeking out alternatives to revocation.  When an alternative is not available, I advocate for my clients at sentencing after revocation hearings.  Additionally, I regularly represent juvenile clients facing delinquency charges, clients facing contempt of court accusations, and clients who need representation throughout their Ch. 51 and Ch. 55 proceedings.. I care about the people of Southeastern Wisconsin and have lived in Wisconsin all my life.  I was born in Milwaukee, raised in Sussex, and attended Milwaukee Lutheran High School.  After high school, I attended the University of Wisconsin and studied Political Science. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree, I earned my Juris Doctor from Marquette University Law School.  I currently live in the Milwaukee area with my beautiful wife, Elizabeth.
