PO BOX 25106 , Phoenix , Arizona 85002
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, DUI & DWI
Thank you for reviewing my profile and considering me to represent you in your criminal defense, DUI/DWI, or personal injury case.. Choosing a lawyer is as important as picking a doctor, and I encourage you to take your time in making this potentially life altering decision. I also encourage you to contact several attorneys before you contact me so you can see the difference between their hard-selling, used car dealer approach and my honest, straightforward, no-nonsense approach. I take great pride in obtaining the best results possible for my clients. I enjoy an excellent reputation throughout the legal community because of my legal intellect, personal integrity, professionalism, and unrelenting drive to protect my clients.. I represent clients in Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Maricopa County and throughout Arizona. I also work with a network of attorneys covering many practice areas, so if I cannot personally represent you, I will help you find an attorney who can.. ADVERTISING SCAM NOTICE: Many attorneys are now adding to their profiles and websites that they have been "chosen" or "selected" by organizations as being outstanding lawyers. As an example, I've been offered membership in Best Law Firms of America, Best Attorney of America, Top 40 under 40 by the American Society of Legal Advocates, Top 40 under 40 by the National Trial Lawyers, Nation's Top One Percent by National Association of Distinquished Counsel, 10 Best Attorneys for the State of Arizona in Client Satisfaction in DUI Defense, and many, many more. Membership in these organizations or acceptance of these "awards" is based solely on the payment of a fee. Do not be misled by attorneys who use these organizations or awards in their advertisements or websites. The only reputable attorney rating organizations are Super Lawyers and Martindale Hubbell.

3101 N. Central Ave., , Phoenix , Arizona 85012
Practice Areas: Tax
I am certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a Tax Specialist. My practice focuses on representing taxpayers before the IRS and state agencies such as the Department of Revenue and Department of Economic Security. Before entering private practice, I was a Senior Trial Attorney with the IRS Office of Chief Counsel. Within the Los Angeles Office, I was both a Fraud Specialist and the Innocent Spouse Coordinator. As a former goverment trial attorney, I gained extensive experience in how the IRS selects, develops, and prosecutes tax cases. Taxpayers facing an audit or collection action generally need a skilled representative to respond to an Agency that is trained to protect the Government's interests. If the IRS contacts you about your tax return or a balance that you owe, they are not going away. Ignoring the IRS will almost always make things worse. A skilled tax professional such as myself can minimize the contact you have with the IRS possibly limiting the problems that you might otherwise face. If you are involved in a tax dispute, I can help you in a cost effective way to protect your rights.
