I became a criminal defense attorney because I am intimately familiar with how precious our constitutional rights are. After my arrest years ago, I realized how close I was to being in a situation that could have negatively impacted my life forever. That situation made me realize how important it is to have someone on your side who feels strongly about protecting those rights.. In the Air Force, I put my life on the line to support and defend the Constitution during war. Today, I support and defend the Constitution in the courtroom. My legal career began by representing indigent clients. I saw first-hand how important it is for everyone to have legal representation. This is why I make every effort to make my services available to as many people as possible.

Results matter.  I have spent more than a decade as a practitioner of criminal law.  I would put the results I have produced against anybody.  In my time as a defense attorney I have gotten several cases dismissed in cases ranging from traffic tickets to serious felonies.  I have gotten clients who were facing serious prison time into rehabilitative courts.  I have gotten multiple clients bond reductions so that they can fight their case while on the outside.  The bottom line is that I care about my clients, I'm a fighter, and I do the hard work that I need to do to get my clients the results that they deserve.  If you find yourself facing criminal charges anywhere in Oklahoma, I would love to help.
