I have been called “pinky”, “Malibu Barbie” and even the “blond bombshell”. I opened my own law practice right out of law school and started my own criminal defense firm. I guess that is what malpractice insurance is for right!!! I represent people who have been accused of the most heinous crimes. I have helped represent several high profile people the UNC football player accused of stabbing his teammate, the famous chess master accused of molesting his students and Father Tim accused of having inappropriate sexual relations with his parishioners. I have a tremendous track record for being a powerhouse in the court room. When my feet hit the floor in the morning the devil is scared. I fight for my clients rights. The only thing I will waive is the American Flag and the only thing I will stipulate to is my client’s innocence.

My first goal on a criminal case or a DUI is to get it dismissed.  This can be difficult when often times it seems the entire government, police, prosecutors, and sometimes even the judge, are against you.  If I am not able to get the case dismissed I will strive to acheive the client's goals on the case.  Every case is different and with each one comes new challenges and different facts that can have a different effect.
