Just because you have been charged with a crime does not mean that you are guilty. The State has the Police and the Prosecutor’s Office on their side; you need a zealous advocate on yours. The State will bring all of its vast power to bear against those it accuses of a crime, so it is important to have an experienced professional to guide you through this nightmare. A criminal record will follow you for the rest of your life. It is vital that you do everything that you can to keep that record clean. It can affect your employment, schooling, even your personal relationships.. It is important to gather all the evidence that you possibly can, for the State will be doing exactly that. Even before you have to appear in court, steps can and should be taken to strengthen your case. Again, this is where having an experienced professional on your side will help immensely. I will work with you at every stage of your case. I will weigh every option and explore every potential solution to your legal troubles. Ultimately, you will make the final decisions, but I will do everything in my power to give you the best options to choose from.

I always welcome discussion about any case. If I'm not the right "match" for your needs, I will be up-front and will point you in another direction. I want people to find the right lawyer for the right purpose, and I'm always willing to refer to others. But I'm also hopeful that our Firm is right for you & can get you the results you want. Feel free to call or email me with your questions - no matter what!. Our firm specializes in Business Law - both litigation and transactions. Personally, I handle commercial matters, civil cases, and criminal defense. I also do Mediation/Alternative Dispute Resolution. Ronan & Firestone is a great group of lawyers -- both professionally and personally, and I am more than excited to be the newest "partner" in the group. My personal aspirations include: 1) Making my clients satisfied with their representation; and 2) Maintaining the best possible service I can provide. I do not keep financial goals, as finances are only a fringe benefit of law practice for me. My passion lies in helping people and fighting for justice -- not in getting rich. But, of course, the occasional $1 Million verdict/settlement is always welcomed! Someday I hope to be a partner of Ronan, Firestone, Manolio-Deden. For now, I'm happy to enjoy life as a competent litigator and member/partner of the Firm.
