I have practiced law in Tucson for over 35 years.  My private practice focuses on criminal defense, including  homicide, sex offenses, vehicular homicide and DUI.  I have personally defended over one hundred jury trials, including many of Tucson’s high profile criminal prosecutions.. Being charged with a criminal offense is among the most serious problems a person will ever face, involving possible loss of freedom, career, and precious reputation.  I am determined to provide individual attention and the most thorough and aggressive defense possible to each client.. In 1994, I was selected  Trial Lawyer of the Year by the American Trial Lawyers for Public Justice.  I have been listed in Best Lawyers of America since 2000, and am listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers and Southwest Super Lawyers.. I have lectured throughout the state to attorneys, and others, on legal topics. I am the co-host of the annual seminar on defending vehicular and DUI offenses. I have been the co-host and speaker at that seminar for 30 years. I have spoken to other defense organizations, and the State Bar, on a wide variety of topics involving criminal defense, including witness interview techniques, cross examination, and pretrial investigation.. I  am also interested in the Arizona Public Records law, and have spoken to jounalists, and others, on the broad reach of the public records law. I am particularly interested in the Puiblic Records law as an invaluable  tool in criminal defense.   I recently successfully represented a private investigator when the Pima County Sheriff sought to prevent him from using the public records law to investigate an alleged sex offense.
