I was trained in the Denver District Attorneys office where I tried my 1st murder case 6 months after law school.  I have tried over 300 jury trials both as a prosecutor and defense attorney which gives me a huge advantage over all other lawyers.  I will go the extra mile to make sure that my clients get the best possible result instead of too many lawyers that never go trial and are more concerned with trying to be friends with the prosecutor instead of an advocate for their client.  My personal mission is to give each client and each case the same diligent and professional effort required to get the best possible outcome.
