I firmly believe that the best lawyers are those that maintain open lines of communicaiton with their clients.  Whether it is a criminal case or personal injury lawsuit, most clients have little experience in the court system.  An attorney who takes the time to explain what is happening, both good and bad, is a must.  I make myself available by phone, email, or in person.

I was born and raised in Iowa, and graduated from Emmetsburg High School in 1970. I was honorably discharged from the United States Air Force in 1975. I have earned the following university degrees: Bachelor of General Studies (Science) in 1984 from the University of Nebraska at Omaha; Master of Public Administration in 1986 from the University of Nebraska; Master of Political Science in 1989 from the University of Houston; Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) in 1990 from the University of Houston; and Juris Doctorate in 2002 from Texas Tech University. I won numerous teaching awards during my time as a college professor, but law is my true calling. As one local judge put it, "that guy's going to plead his case no matter what.

I am an experienced criminal litigator with close to 150 jury trials as a prosecutor. My trial resume ranges from misdemeanors to first degree murder. I am now using that experience to vigorously defend the rights of the accused.

I have been in the criminal justice field for over 40 years.. That is 4 decades of experience.. People charged with offenses are usually terrified of thier circumstances.  Either they do not know what consequences await them or they are intimate of the consequences and seek to avoid them.. I bring experience as a Police Officer, Detective, Sergeant, Criminal Investigations, Traffic Enforcement, Lieutenant, Recruiter, Trainer and State Prosecutor to my law practice.. Being trained in DWI, I know the aspects of arrest, breath tests, search warrants for blood, prosecution, collateral consequences, jury selection and proper defense.

Being faced with criminal charges can be a traumatic experience that can have a major impact on your life and your future.  The criminal justice system can be confusing, frightening and intimidating, and it is important to have an attorney by your side who not only knows how to navigate that system, but who also genuinely cares about your case and protecting your record..
