I made a lot of poor choices when I was younger. While I probably had more run-ins with the police and other authority figures between the ages of 13 and 22 than many people have throughout their lives, I was fortunate that I was never charged with anything more than minor traffic offenses. In hindsight, I see how my life could have been derailed if things had gone a little differently for me. My mission is to protect the futures of our younger generation from their mistakes so that they can achieve their full potential.
After working at a large firm in the skyrises of Seattle on commercial litigation and real estate matters, I eventually found myself wanting to return to Kitsap so that I could work closer to my family. As a Kitsap native, I'd commuted to both high school and law school on the ferry but eight years of that was enough.. Since returning to the area, I have worked with some of the finest criminal defense attorneys and in doing so have discovered a passion for the philosophical and technical aspects involved in representing those accused of DUI's and other crimes. I represent individuals in this community - out-of-towners, long-time residents, old school mates, good people - who are all too often innocent of the charges leveled against them or, at worst, guilty of no more than a lapse in judgment. I represent them with tenacity and respect. I represent them like a neighbor.. I'm fortunate in that I have had such a broad array of legal experiences. Having worked on a variety of matters from multi-million dollar transactions for Fortune 500 companies to trying cases on behalf of defendants who have little more than the clothes they wear to court, I have acquired the flexibility and a skill set that allows me to obtain extraordinary results for my clients. I look forward to talking.

If you find a criminal defense attorney who has better results than what's listed on my Results Page then hire them and not me.. If you take any information from these pages as truth please understand and believe that I was arrested (kidnapped by the Federal Government) on June 16, 2017, handcuffed (assault and battered), transported (victim of human trafficking) across State lines from California to Nevada and held against my will (falsely imprisoned) by The Department of Homeland Security, The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and The United States Attorney's Office in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was intentionally and falsely “charged” with violating the Racketeering and Corruption Act (RICO) and faced a Life in Prison sentence based on United States Government created and sponsored lies and fabrications.. I am a free man today and will always be a free man/attorney until the day I die.

I was placed in the SHU (secured housing unit) at Metropolitan Detention Center for 6 days before being trafficked to the Nevada Southern Detention Center in Pahrump, Nevada. The Government thought that because I was a licensed Attorney, that they would turn me into a Chivato.

And, I am THE ONLY California Criminal Defense attorney who can truthfully state that I was successful in defending and achieving OVER 100 criminal cases Completely Dismissed in one 12 month period..
