I turn major roadblocks into minor speed bumps by providing aggressive representation with great results. This helps you move on with your life by being able to put your case behind you. I do this by providing:. • The right focus: I begin every case by focusing on what it will take to win, and then backing it up with action. I am concerned with more than just the pending case, and pride myself on thinking about where your life will be years from now. • The right experience: With more than 10 years of experience, I have tried numerous cases to judges and juries alike, and have avoided countless years in prison/jail for my clients. Once a case has ended, I have cleared up people's criminal histories, and gotten people back on the road. My success speaks for itself, and. • The right knowledge: being licensed in more than one state, in federal court, and before the U.S. Supreme Court means I have the education, the background, and the familiarity with the law that you need. I put that knowledge to work for my clients, and use it to my clients' advantage.. • The right information: You will always be kept up-to-date, and always fully understand everything about your case. Although the law is complex, speaking with me is not, and you will no longer be confused with or about anything.. • Flexibility on time and cost: I pride myself on being competitive both in and out of the courtroom. That means being available after hours for my clients and being competitive on cost. I always seek to accommodate my clients' schedules, always make hiring me easy, and always work with people to make hiring me possible.. • Being available: feel free to give me a call directly at, by e-mailing me at , or by contacting me through Twitter or Facebook.
