I have been involved in the criminal justice system for over 36 years, and still enjoy representing my clients.  We all are human, some of us make mistakes, others find themselves in situations beyond their control.  When my clients are investigated or prosecuted for an alleged crime, I make it my practice to not judge what happened. Instead, I want to first understand the situation, then come up with a plan designed to get the best possible outcome for the person I am representing.. I am very lucky.  I continue to enjoy my job, even after 36 years. Anyone reading this who is facing criminal charges should contact my office to discuss your situation.  I look forward to hearing from you.
